Commissioner’s Teacher Task Force to Meet in Orlando

The inaugural meeting of the Commissioner’s Teacher Task Force will be held tomorrow in Orlando. The 17-member task force will serve as an open forum for the Commissioner of Education and fellow teachers to discuss education-related issues.

The meeting will be held:

Friday, January 8, 2010
8:45 a.m.

Over the next several months, members of the Teacher Task Force will work to identify the characteristics of effective teachers and work with Department staff to determine plans to duplicate those traits across the state. In addition, Task Force members will work to improve new and existing Department of Education educator resources and ensure open and continued dialogue between the Department and Florida’s educators designed to elevate the teaching profession.
