THREE RESPONSES TO THEMES WE HEARD

We Heard, We Responded| New Mexico Rising, Together

Updates to NMTEACH Reduced Time on Student Assessment Champion Our Educators

We Heard

Let’s give our schools time to respond to new federal requirements and state priorities as it pertains to school and district accountability.

We Responded

The PED plans to incorporate new federal requirements, such as English Language Proficiency in School Grades, in the 2018-19 school year. The PED will advocate for this approach with federal

• fficials in response to stakeholder input. The vast majority of

stakeholders advocated for stability and continuity for as many years as possible under the current School Grades system.

We Heard, We Responded| New Mexico Rising, Together

We Heard

Let’s not allow Congressional roll-backs on Advanced Placement fee waivers to keep our students in low-income communities from reaching their full potential.

We Responded

New Mexico is committing to fully fund all AP fee waivers for the spring 2017 testing, and has begun to develop a plan, based on strong stakeholder support, to continue this allocation in FY18.

We Heard, We Responded| New Mexico Rising, Together

We Heard

Let's ensure that a diverse group of statewide teachers are advising the PED on how to improve New Mexico’s education system.

We Responded

The PED launched the Secretary’s Teacher Advisory (STA) last year, which convenes regularly via both conference call and in- person meetings. STA members played a major role in the state’s first Teacher Summit in 2016, and weighed-in on the state’s ESSA plan.

We Heard, We Responded| New Mexico Rising, Together

We Heard

Let’s involve our students in developing the state’s plan for their success.

We Responded

The PED plans to create the Secretary’s Student Advisory Council later in 2017. This idea will be developed in partnership with the Secretary’s Teacher Advisory and Family Cabinet in the months ahead.

We Heard, We Responded| New Mexico Rising, Together

We Heard

Let’s engage parents and family members more frequently and with greater depth. We need to get our parents and families more involved in our students’ success.

We Responded

The PED established a new role, the Parent & Family Outreach Coordinator to assist parents and families in supporting their child

• academically. Additionally, the PED has launched the Family

Cabinet, comprised of 25 parents/guardians representing 17 school districts across the state. The PED is also piloting a new model of parent engagement, Academic Parent Teacher Teams.
