Annual Goals - 2018
Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year

Annual Goals - 2017
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year
Goal #1 HC will offer two methods courses in F17: STEM and Humanities. The Director of the TEP will work to aligning Methods courses to new PSTs. She will review syllabi provided by both STEM and Humanities adjunct professors, and compare them to syllabi for similar courses offered at other SOs. This way we can ensure that TCS are receiving instruction in theory and PSTs not just best practices.
Goal #2 The program will continue to work on sustaining and expanding our partnerships with the Worcester Public Schools and our network of SPs and PSs to fulfill the needs of our Holy Cross TEP students.
Goal #3 The TEP plans to expand recruiting to all departments on campus with development of highlights video that can be shown at Open Houses, Academic Fairs, New Student Orientations, and in Academic classes. By creating a video, prospective TCs will have a better understanding of what the TEP is and how it can prepare them for employment upon graduation.

Annual Goals - 2016
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year
Goal #1 The program will design and deliver face-to-face training sessions and written resources to support all supervising practitioners and program supervisors in the CAP pilot. Feedback collected at the end of session(s) and at the end of the practicum semester will indicate the effectiveness of the training in supporting implementation of CAP and will also indicate areas for improvement.
Goal #2 At the end of the Spring 2016 semester, all survey data will be summarized, analyzed, and shared with internal and external stakeholders in order to identify strengths and areas of need.
Goal #3 Two content-specific methods coursework will be offered: one that focuses on the humanities and one that focuses on STEM. Upon completion of the program, at least 75% of candidates will indicate that they felt prepared for their full practicum as a result of the methods course and at least 90% will indicate that they felt somewhat prepared.
