 Greetings from the DATE Committee!
The end of the year is rapidly
approaching! Remember, June 5th
is the deadline for completing the DATE mentoring and
lesson plan requirements (if applicable to your subject area and
grade level). Procedures for completing the mentoring or lesson
plan documentation may vary for each campus, however, the DATE
Committee has made the following recommendations:
-
On or
before June 5th, print
2
copies of your application from the
DATE
database. The application will include the mentoring
hours or lesson plans that you have previously submitted online.
-
On
June 5th, bring
both
copies to the campus Principal to have the Lesson Plan
Verification or Mentoring Verification signed.
-
The
Principal will keep
1
copy for your personnel file, and you will keep
1
copy for the final submission of your application on
September 1.
-
After
the official test scores have arrived and the final signatures
have been added,
Principals
will submit all applications to Dr. Neil Dugger
on September 1.
For more information on these
requirements contact your school’s Committee contact person.
*Remember* You must scroll down
