Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett's REPA reform is set to take effect this summer. The goal is to get more knowledgable teachers in public-school classrooms.
Vice president for academic affairs Dean Brailow said that, because Franklin is a liberal arts college and already provides a comprehensive education, the REPA proposals will not have as much of an effect on the campus.
Indiana is working on revising its rules regarding education requirements, a good move on the government’s part. The new rule, known as Revisions for Educator Preparation and Accountability, would change the college’s teaching curriculum entirely.
