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.
Data last updated October, 04 2023.

Annual Goals - 2018
Goal #1 Establish EDWIN reporting protocols for reports and analysis to deliver to program directors so that programs can assess areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. EDWIN will supplement existing data collection practices.
Goal #2 Conduct a crosswalk between the DESE upcoming teacher prepracticum guidelines and our programs' current prepractica requirements. This review is expected to yield insight into the ways in which programs can reinforce existing effective practices and build upon existing prepractica experiences to prepare candidates to be effective educators.
Goal #3 To establish relationships between HGSE pathways to educator licensure and the newly established Secondary Field in Educational Studies for Harvard College undergraduate students, to be implemented during the 2018-2019 academic year.

Annual Goals - 2017
Goal #1 HGSE has systems in place to collect and analyze data for strategic decision making. While using feedback from data informs continuous improvement within programs, we plan to create opportunities to collect and analyze data across all programs to determine opportunities for cross-programs collaboration and to inform subsequent improvements.
Goal #2 HGSE recognizes the critical role of Supervising Practitioners in preparing candidates and the importance of their ongoing training, support and development. Our goal in the next year is to conduct focused outreach to supervising practitioners to collect and analyze data to better understand additional resources and supports, as well as delivery platforms, that will enhance their preparedness. This knowledge will inform continuous improvement efforts focused on supporting Supervising Practitioners.
Goal #3 HGSE recognizes the importance of understanding partnerships and contacts across programs and institutional projects as an important element to improvement. HGSE is piloting a customer relationship system that will permit us to develop a common platform for all data that will enable us build strong relationships across multiple channels while building systems that contribute to process improvements.

Annual Goals - 2016
Goal #1 Successful implementation of redesigned competency-based Teacher Education Program and advisory component of program.
Goal #2 Successful implementation of redesigned School Leadership Program that more clearly delineates principal licensure and school developer program and fieldwork pathways.
Goal #3 Successful implementation of Reading Specialist candidate performance assessment, designed through cooperative planning with school partners and partners from other sponsoring organizations.
