The new Director of Certification has visited Match Teacher Residency and has had conversations with various colleagues in other educator preparation programs about how they run their practicums. |
| Goal #2 |
The new Director of Certification implemented a new, year-long professional development program for the mentor teachers, who report it being extremely useful. |
| Goal #3 |
The new Director of Certification revised the entire Seminar scope and sequence, making several changes to the reading list. |
| Annual Goals - 2013 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Spend more time comparing/contrasting our practicum experiences with other schools in Boston. |
| Goal #2 |
Formalize the process and pacing by which mentor teachers teach Fellows how to design curriculum. |
| Goal #3 |
Reexamine the syllabus to possibly replace one of the texts for Seminar. |
| Progress Toward Goals - 2013 |
|---|
|
Progress made toward prior program year goals |
| Goal #1 |
We haven't made progress on this goal. |
| Goal #2 |
We have strict rules now on when students are allowed to use previous materials. For at least two and a half weeks, students need to design every material themselves. This has proven very helpful in pushing students to become independent. |
| Goal #3 |
One of our central Seminar texts overlaps with one of the MAT core course texts - The Skillful Teacher. We need to negotiate use of this text to make our students' time more efficiently spent. |
