Dept. seeks
nominations for “talent pool” for workgroups, boards
The South Dakota
Department of Education is interested in receiving names of exceptional
teachers, administrators and service specialists with distinguished records of
service in the state’s public schools. The nominees will be reviewed when the
department needs persons for a workgroup, advisory board, or other state-level
group. Nominations will be accepted until May 1.
The “talent pool” gives
local school officials an opportunity to bring outstanding educators to the
attention of the department; the nominations will be kept on file for
reference in the future.
Ideas for inclusion in
the talent pool include educators who:
- Are
classroom teachers, specialists, or principals (building-level personnel);
- Have
been serving in education for at least five years;
- Exhibit
strong potential for professional leadership and an inspiring presence that
impacts students, colleagues, and communities;
- Are
recognized by peers and supervisors as unique because of their local
contributions, and
- Have
not previously received other recognition.
Please note that the
candidate should not be aware of the nomination as this is a confidential
process.
To recommend an educator,
-
Complete a talent pool recommendation form (log on to
http://www.state.sd.us/deca/OPA/Talentpool.htm) for each nominee with
confidential, succinct, and specific information. Typewritten submissions
are preferred. All questions must be answered;
-
Write a
one page recommendation narrative that addresses how the nominee meets the
criteria outlined above; and
- obtain
a copy of the candidate’s resume, if possible
