2. The committee shall include but not be limited to representatives from the kindergarten through grade twelve education community, community colleges, and regents universities.
3. The committee shall establish a sampling technique that randomly selects courses for audit. The audit shall include but not be limited to a review of the course syllabus, teacher qualifications, examples of student products, and results of student assessments. Standards for review shall be established by the committee and approved by the department. Audit findings shall be submitted to the institutions providing the classes audited and shall be posted on the department’s internet site.
