Abstract

Iowa Teaching Standards [ITS]: The ITS create a framework for local districts and educators to define high quality teaching. They are written into the Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 83. These standards and criteria apply to all district teachers as of July 1, 2002. A local school board and its certified bargaining representative may negotiate additional standards and criteria for career level teachers. The ITS are central to improving the quality of teaching and form the basis for evaluation of all teachers, for ongoing professional development, and for mentoring and induction. Iowa Teaching Standards and Model Criteria were adopted by the State Board of Education on May 10, 2002.
