This work will be a descriptive study examining current state level policies and practices in 4 human capital resource management (HCRM) areas as they relate to teachers, including preparation and licensure, recruitment, induction and professional development, and working conditions and compensation. Supporting documentation such as implementation studies, and pre-existing data that influenced resource allocation in support of state HCRM policies and practices will also be examined to provide context for understanding state approaches to HCRM. The Chief State School Officers in the region agree that there should be a coordinated effort in their states to ensure highly qualified and highly effective teachers are in every classroom, but the SEA typically do not systematically provide guidance to districts about how this should be done. The work will consist of finding available guidance in the 4 HCRM categories from publicly available documents as well as interviews with key state personnel. The outcome of this project will be 7 state specific technical briefs, one for each state served by REL Midwest.
