Action | Comprehensive Revision of the Regulations Governing the Review and Approval of Education Programs in |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 10/31/2015 |
To Whom It May Concern,
I am the President of the Virginia Association of Career and Technical Education and I am writing in opposition to the proposed engineering endorsement and that it be struck from the Licensure Regulations for School Personnel [8 VAC 20 - 22] and recommend the proposed regulations for engineering programs be stricken from the Regulations Governing the Review and Approval of Education Programs in Virginia [8 VAC 20 - 542]:
The rationale behind this opposition is due to the following reasons:
Virginia is and will continue to be a national leader in engineering education. Our Virginia Technology and Engineering Association members have been involved in the development of Standards for Technology and The National Assessment of Educational Progress Technology and Engineering projects as well as various National Academy of Engineering projects. In addition, our Technology Educators has become and will continually be internationally known for the annual Engineering Conference it host for elementary educators.
Sincerely Yours, Teresa Lindberg
