Annual Goals
This report lists the annual improvement goals reported to ESE in the educator preparation program provider’s state annual report. Providers may report up to three goals for the upcoming year and are asked to report on progress made toward the prior year’s goals. Annual goals are reported in May of the academic year listed.

|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
By August 2014, there will be an increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the Teacher Education Program. |

| Progress Toward Goals - 2014 |
|---|
|
Progress made toward prior program year goals |
| Goal #1 |
During the 2013-2014 academic year, 19 students were accepted into the program. Of those 29, 78 percent were white, 16 percent were Hispanic/Latino of any race, 5 percent were two or more races, and 5 percent chose not to disclose. The racial and ethnic diversity in the program is increasing, albeit gradually, and more focused recruitment of diverse candidates will continue. |
| Goal #2 |
During the 2013-2014 academic year, the Teacher Education Program hired an intern to design and administer a survey to all TEP alumni (Classes of 1997-2013.) In addition, an alumni database was created to update information and enable us to contact alumni in more targeted ways. |
| Goal #3 |
A new course, 'English Language Learners,' was developed, approved by the state, and approved by curriculum committee. As of July 2014, all TEP students are required to take that course. |
| Annual Goals - 2013 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
By August 2014, there will be an increase in racial and ethnic diversity in the Teacher Education Program. |
| Goal #2 |
By September 2013, we will review the field-based experiences of TEP students to identify placements that will both support and inform that coursework in a cohesive manner. |
| Goal #3 |
By August 2014, we will have at least one TEP student enrolled in the new Chinese 5-12 program. |
| Progress Toward Goals - 2013 |
|---|
|
Progress made toward prior program year goals |
| Goal #1 |
The racial and ethnic diversity in the Teacher Education Program is beginning to increase, although that shift is not reflected in the numbers reported this year. |
| Goal #2 |
In July 2013, the members of the Education Department participated in a one-day workshop to revisit the educational objectives of field-based experiences embedded in various content courses with a special focus on how these serve the needs of the course and simultaneously the requirements of the TEP. |
| Goal #3 |
There has not yet been an applicant to the TEP for the Chinese 5-12 program. However, information about this new program is being shared with Chinese majors. |
