Officer Election
We are looking for Region 5 nominations for MEA.
There
are several positions vacant for EA and ESP MEA members. It would be
great if MEA members form 5 E/G would run for these positions:
-
Two vacancies for EA
MEA RA Cluster Delegate with terms ending 8/31/09. ( Must come from
locals of fewer than 75 members). These are funded seats with mileage
and meals. For a two day RA rooms are funded at 1/2 the double
occupancy.
-
Three ESP MEA RA
Cluster Delegate positions with two for the terms ending 8/31/08 and
the other ending 8/31/09. Again funded at the above rates.
-
Three ESP MEA RA
Cluster Alternate positions ending 8/31/08.
-
TWO VACANCIES MEA RA
Cluster Delegate positions end 8/31/07, and I have only received ONE
nomination.
-
There are THREE EA MEA
RA Cluster Alternate positions which are vacant. These positions end
8/31/08.
*************************************************************
The following
positions
do NOT receive any funds from MEA or
NEA:
-
Six three year terms for EA
NEA RA Cluster end 8/31/07; I have received only three nominations.
These seats are not funded. However, some coordinating councils give
stipends to delegates. 5 D completely funds their cluster delegates
through dues monies. Also 5C gives something to cluster delegates
from their CC. (Gerald Barkley & Sue Deter currently hold two of
these positions.)
-
All EA NEA RA Cluster
Alternate positions expire 8/31/07. Four of the current alternates
are from GOCC.
-
All seven ESP NEA RA
Cluster positions expire 8/31/07.I have received only 4 nominations.
-
Three ESP NEA RA
Cluster Alternate positions are vacant.
Elementary
Teacher:
Changes are under way for Elementary Education Standards
The
Michigan Department of Education is in the process of approving
standards for the preparation of all teachers. The Elementary Education
Standards have been revised and aligned with new national and state
requirements.
The
Michigan Department of Education is asking for comments by October 2,
2006, on the proposed elementary education teacher preparation
standards. A response form is posted on the site along with The newest
DRAFT proposals for these standards. The link to this site is:
http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,1607,7-140-6530_5683_6368-33926--,00.html.
Your
responses will be compiled and used to continue the standards
development process. These standards affect all teachers prepared in
Michigan and your response is critical to assuring quality preparation
programs.
