Illinois State Policy Forum Sponsored by the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory and the Education Commission of the States Title II Reporting Requirements and Illinois Teacher Quality Initiatives Summary of Forum Proceedings Prepared by Sabrina Laine Introduction On June 23 Summary of Proceedings Teacher Quality: The Title II Vision and its Role in North Carolina Teacher Quality Activities Morning presentations provided seminar participants with an opportunity to hear from the Director of the Title II Teacher Quality Enhancement Program at the U.S. Department of Education, Dr. Ed Crowe and Dr. Kathy Sullivan , Director of Human Resource Management at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The Title II Vision Dr. Crowe’s presentation provided participants with not only a background on the development of the Title II reporting requirements in the 1998 Higher Education Act, but also the opportunity to envision how the Title II requirements can be used to further improve teacher quality reform within Illinois. Crowe suggested that many states across the nation have teacher quality programs/ initiatives that are "program rich and system poor," meaning states have a number of initiatives under way working independently of each other. According to Crowe, few states have developed a strong systemic structure that ensures quality teachers are generated and supported from their preservice teacher training through their careers as certified/ master teachers. It was for some of these reasons, reports Crowe, that the Title II grants program and reporting requirements were instituted.
