Kentucky's state legislators and educators developed
the Continuing Education Option (CEO) for rank change and certificate
renewal as an alternative to a planned fifth-year program college
course of studies. The initiative, that resulted from the 1996
General Assembly House Bill 305, is structured to link teachers'
professional growth with positive, measurable improvement in student
learning. Built around the Kentucky
Teacher Standards adopted by the Education Professional Standards
Board (EPSB), the CEO requires candidates to submit an independent
professional growth plan based on the needs of the teacher, the
students, and the school. The professional growth plan is a unique
independent study that includes graduate level classes, professional
development experiences, research, reading, and shadowing other
professionals.
Candidates create job-embedded CEO Plans based on the needs of
their schools, districts, and communities. Each candidate is required
to create a portfolio representing successful completion of his
or her plan. Although the CEO is an independent study, throughout
the process candidates receive support through online resources
and by participating in face-to-face regional monthly cohort meetings
offered across the state. Cohorts are supported by experienced
educational professionals (coaches) in a blended learning environment
integrating traditional learning with technology to provide a
technology enhanced independent learning experience.
The benefits of successful completion of the CEO program are
far reaching. The teacher candidate completes a self-assessment
to identify his or her own areas for growth and matches them to
specific local district and classroom needs. The structures of
the CEO Plan and CEO Portfolio are based on candidates' professional
needs, goals, objectives, and activities. To address the full
scope of the Kentucky Teacher Standards, some of these professional
needs, goals, objectives, and activities are teacher-centered,
some are student-centered, and some focus on leadership. As a
result, each completed CEO program will bring new resources and
experiences into the candidate's classroom, school and district.
