Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |

| Annual Goals - 2016 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Our licensure candidates resonated to one of the new pre-readings for the Summer Intensive - Debby Irvings's "Waking up White." We will be adding Ta-Nehisi Coates's "Between the World and Me" as well this year in hopes that both books will take us to an even deeper level of reflection and conversation on the issue of race and its bearing on our practice. Writing: The MA-PAL is increasingly proving its worth as an effective complement to our instructional program. Having seen first hand the enormous deficiencies in the writing abilities of our licensure candidates, we are far more rigorous in our review of participants' written assignments in our program, providing almost intensive 1:1 tutorials around student work. It is having an impact. |
| Goal #2 |
We will exert more quality control on the Springfield district's designation of mentor principals for internships. |
| Goal #3 |
We are welcoming three participants in our program from the Holyoke Public Schools and are assisting the professional development director in grant writing to secure the necessary funds. |
