Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Two new and required courses in Sheltered English Immersion will be added to each full Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education teacher preparation undergraduate and graduate program. Courses will include demonstrations of proficiency in content and applied practice, as aligned with new state standards for content knowledge and for teaching. |
| Goal #2 |
Complete significant revisions of an advanced graduate course approved by the state as one of four advanced courses that can be utilized with a master's degree to move an Initial license to the Professional level in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Moderate Disabilities licensure areas when all other state requirements have been met. The revisions will focus on the addition of knowledge and proficiency in administering and using the WIDA as a diagnostic and assessment tool with students learning English as a second language. Some other related updates will be made across the full cluster of courses. |
| Goal #3 |
Continue to increase the diversity of students in teacher preparation programs as the college strives to contribute to a diverse teacher population in partner schools in the districts of Boston, Cambridge, and Brookline, and as compared to the student population of the districts. |
