Why monitor?

• NCDPI expects LEAs/Charters to be in compliance with the policy to support beginning teachers.

• BTSP Monitoring was partnered with Title II Monitoring but is now separate as Title II has been realigned with Federal Programs Division of NCDPI.

Monitoring Cycle– The Title II Monitoring Process and BTSP

Monitoring are five year monitoring cycles.– The first five year cycle for Title II and

BTSP Monitoring began in 2006-07 and concluded in 2010-2011.

– 2011-2012 was the beginning of the new five year cycle.

– 2013-2014 is the third year of the second five year cycle AND the first year of independent BTSP monitoring.
