Teachers needed for Dakota STEP work
groups |
Throughout the year, the Department
of Education hosts work groups
responsible for addressing issues
related to the state’s assessment
system. The U.S. Department of
Education has directed South Dakota
to develop more diverse work groups
to address the state’s assessment
system. Teachers from various
grade levels, along with special
education teachers and teachers of
English language learners, are
needed to serve on these work
groups.
Participants will help
to shape the future of South
Dakota’s standards and assessment
system, and the state, as a whole,
will benefit from the expertise of
these professionals. To take part, a
nomination form must be filled out,
by the teacher or an administrator,
and be approved by a principal or
superintendent.
The Department of Education will
reimburse participants for mileage,
meals and lodging (state rate) and
will pay a stipend of $125.00 per
day (eight hours of work). We also will
reimburse the school district $70
per day for substitute pay if the
work groups meet during the school
year.

convene to help create the 2009
Dakota STEP and Dakota
STEP-Alternate Assessment.
Once the work groups have been
selected, the department will e-mail
the selected teachers with details.
