PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 256E.6 LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND 1 2 INTENT. 1 3 1. The general assembly finds that classroom management is 1 4 often difficult and complex, that students are from diverse 1 5 racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, and that behavioral 1 6 disorders and special education needs abound. Teachers, 1 7 therefore, must be prepared to effectively manage classrooms, 1 8 to communicate with and engage parents in their child's 1 9 education, to assess students' developmental needs, and to 1 10 organize and work in teams. While student needs are great, 1 11 the nation is experiencing a teacher shortage. 1 12 2. Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly 1 13 that the department of education encourage each school 1 14 district to develop and implement a volunteer program that 1 15 utilizes a valuable, tested human resource, Iowa's retired 1 16 teachers and administrators, by inviting these experienced 1 17 educators to return to the schools as volunteer mentors and 1 18 aides. A volunteer mentor is not a mentor as defined in 1 19 section 256E.1, and is ineligible for awards made under 1 20 section 256E.4. 1 21 EXPLANATION 1 22 This bill includes legislative findings and the intent of 1 23 the general assembly to encourage each school district to 1 24 develop and implement a volunteer program that utilizes a 1 25 valuable, tested human resource, Iowa's retired teachers and 1 26 administrators, by inviting these experienced educators to 1 27 return to the schools as volunteer mentors and aides. 1 28 LSB 6009SS 78 1 29 kh/cf/24.1
