The proposal, 18 months in the drafting, changes the emphasis on teachers' qualifications from their college training to whether they can meet outcomes established for professional educators. It would require them to demonstrate their competence in the field for a year or two before being fully licensed. It is intended to improve the quality of Kansas teachers and train them to meet outcomes, or goals for accomplishing their missions. Under the state's quality performance accreditation process, adopted in 1989, the general outcomes goals are "application of effective school principles, collaborative work with each school's community to create a total learning environment, and effective professional development of all school personnel." Institutions that train teachers would be accredited on the basis of how well they prepare them to meet the outcomes. "The proposed redesign will move from an emphasis upon resources and curriculum activities (college courses) to include the assessment of outcomes demonstrated by program graduates in teaching and learning situations," said the draft. Teacher education programs would be accredited, "not only on the basis of a resources and curriculum approach to achieve outcomes, but also on the assessment of graduates' ability to demonstrate outcomes as determined by objective and reliable assessments of them in applied educational settings," the draft said. Kathleen White, a member of the state board from Prairie Village, described the proposal to the Senate Education Committee. The 10 board members met with both the Senate and House Education Committees at the Statehouse, reviewing status of the quality performance accreditation program and outlining the proposed changes in teacher and teacher program certification. The board got its first look at the proposed redesign of the professional preparation and licensing system for teachers as it concluded its two day monthly meeting in Topeka. It will vote on the plan at its March meeting, after inviting comment and suggestions from teachers, educators, administrators and the public. They would be given conditional licenses to teach, then be evaluated at between one and two years on the basis of demonstrating that they had met the outcomes. WASHINGTON THE NEWS in brief Senate committee endorses nomination for state department Strobe Talbot won a strong endorsement from a Senate panel yesterday to be deputy secretary of state despite questions about his support for Israel. The Foreign Relations Committee voted 17-2 to recommend his nomination to the full Senate, with only Sens. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and Hank Brown, R-Colo, opposing. The lawmakers also voted 10-9, along party lines, against an attempt by Republicans to hold up a full Senate vote on Talbott. The committee gave tentative approval, by a 17-1 vote with Helms dissenting, to Sam Brown to be head of the U.S. delegation to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. However, the committee agreed to delay action on the nomination until Hank Brown could review it. Sam Brown was a leader of the anti-war Vietnam Moratorium Committee during the Vietnam War. He went on to be Colorado state treasurer and head of ACTION, the agency that oversees the Peace Corns. Other names approved and sent to the full Senate were former Rep. James Scheuer, D.N.Y., to be U.S. director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; Alice Dear to the new position of director of the African Development Bank, and career diplomats Wesley Egan Jr. as ambassador to Jordan, David Merrill to Bangladesh and Sandra Vogelgesang to Nepal. The nomination of Talbott, currently the State Department's senior adviser on Russia, ran into controversy when several Jewish groups demanded President Clinton withdraw his name. They said Talbot's writings as a former Time magazine reporter showed an anti-israel bias. WASHINGTON Firm denies shredding papers The Rose law firm, where first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was a partner, shredded documents last week relating to the Whitewater Development corporation, the Washington Times reported yesterday. The firm emphatically denied the report. The paper cited an unidentified Rose employee as its source. President and Mrs. Clinton, along with James McDougal and his then-wife Susan, were partners in Whitewater, an Arkansas real estate venture. In Little Rock, Ark, Ronald Clark, managing partner of the Rose firm, said the report of shredding Whitewater documents was "totally false. I am absolutely sure." Wesley Pruden, the editor-in-chief of the Times, said the newspaper stands by its story, which he said was based on conversations with "direct and corrobating sources" at the law firm. The Little Rock office of Special Counsel Robert B. Fiske Jr. said the report would become part of its investigation into Whitewater and related matters. WASHINGTON Price of stamps may rise The nation's largest mailers urged a 10.3 percent rise in postal rates yesterday, saying higher rates are inevitable, and they can accept an increase of that size if the pain is shared equally. The across-the-board increase of 10.3 percent suggested by a coalition of usually competing groups would translate into a 32-cent first class stamp. That rate was raised from 25 to 29 cents in 1991. The board of governors of the U.S. Postal Service is expected to begin the long and complex process of raising rates late this month or early in March, so higher rates could take effect by early 1995. Postal officials had no immediate reaction to the mailers' proposal. However, Postmaster General Marvin Runyon has said a 10.3 percent rate hike is one of the possibilities being considered. A 10.3 percent increase would provide the post office an additional $5 billion a year and should allow rates to remain unchanged for at least two years, said Sackler. While the current 29-cent rate will be in place four years before a new increase occurs, traditionally the post office has operated on a three-year cycle of making a profit one year, breaking even the next and losing money the third year, then raising rates and starting the cycle again.
