DIRECTOR’S REPORT

 

ISTART 7 – Ms. Griffith reported that she is working with Ball State on a class for ISTART 7 allowing for three credit hours.  The class will only be open for the coop and participating corporation teachers.  The class will count toward license renewal and provide the opportunity for them to learn about ISTART 7 which is already a requirement.  Ms. Griffith is currently negotiating with Ball State to audit the class for those who do not need credit hours.  If the class is audited, SSU can offer CRUs.  Currently the fee for auditing is too high and Ms. Griffith is working to get it lowered.  A two-day training has already taken place for individuals who will be trainers.
