Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Boston College's Lynch School of Education will continue its ten year commitment to prepare educators to teach English Language Learners in mainstream classrooms, to not only meet, but to exceed all criteria set forth by DESE in compliance with new regulations for the RETELL initiatives and SEI Endorsement across all programs. Moreover, we will develop a plan for SEI professional development for all faculty and adjunct clinical faculty supervisors across all programs, as well as for practitioners in our partnership schools K-12, in the forthcoming academic year. |
| Goal #2 |
Boston College's Lynch School of Education will continue revise and develop curriculum for the capstone Inquiry Seminar class which is co-requisite to the full time practicum for all candidates in licensure programs. We will continue to draw on lessons learned from Spring 2011 to date, from integrating key components of edTPA in the Inquiry Seminar. Moreover, the curriculum for Full Practicum and Inquiry Seminars will continue to require evidence of our candidates' ability to develop an inquiry stance in daily practice, as well as evidence of our candidates' ability to assess and promote pupil learning, as required in the B.C. enhanced Pre-Service Performance Assessment Plus. |
| Goal #3 |
Boston College is well positioned, through our Collaborative Fellows Program, (1999 to present) to address the revised regulations for Program Approval, which call for evidence of Collaboration and Program Impact through collaborative partnerships with local districts. In the year ahead, we will rigorously continue to recruit school-based practitioners in our Partnership Schools (urban and suburban) in the greater Boston area, to engage with our students and faculty in educator preparation programs through this program, which has a rich history of research, and outreach to build bridges between theory and practice for teacher preparation, school guidance counseling, mental health counseling and educational leadership.
