| Annual Goals - 2018 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
We will be working with a teacher who has yet to participate in the CAP. We will schedule a number of meetings with her to review and discuss the CAP so that she is well-prepared for a student teacher in September, 2018. |
| Goal #2 |
Beginning during AY2018-19, we will require that students engaging in pre-practicum and practicum experiences videotape a lesson they take primary responsibiity for crafting and teaching. |
| Goal #3 |
We will explore the idea of partnering with Newberry College - a partnership where Newberry's students would complete their general core requirements at NC, and then, if accepted, complete the requirements for a concentration in elementary education at Hellenic College. |
| Annual Goals - 2017 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Beginning in fall 2017, students will be placed in schools during the second semester of their second year. Historically, we have placed students in classrooms the first semester of their junior year. |
| Goal #2 |
We are initiating an outreach campaign aimed at attracting stufdents to the elementary education program. The Admissions Office is working with us to hone a message that will be sent out to over 200,000 families. In addtion, the College will be offering scholarships for entering elementary education students. |
| Goal #3 |
We are continuing to inform teachers we work with in the schools about the CAP. During the AY2017-18, we will introduce the CAP to 2 SPs who have yet to participate in the new process. |
| Annual Goals - 2016 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
We will introduce the new professional standards to all elementary education students, along with the CAP guidelines, in the Educational Psychology course in September, 2016. We will also view the videos offered by DESE so that students are knowledgeable about the multiple factors that frame their experiences as prospective teachers. We will initiate class discussions to examine students' questions, concerns, and comments and insure that we address them throughout their courses, pre-practicum, and practicum experiences. |
| Goal #2 |
As part of our PST implementation plan, we decided to plot a course-by-course analysis that that reflects the scaffolding of skills across the entire program. Now that the newly designed general education program of studies is up and running, we will complete our analysis and, if necessary, modify the course delivery schedule. |
| Goal #3 |
One of the schools we are partnered with is the Curley School. One of the classroom teachers is also an adjunct instructor in the elementary education program. She will be the first supervising practitioner to be using CAP with one of our full-time student teachers. We will meet with her and the candidate this spring before the student teaching begins. We will review the CAP and set up a schedule for the fall semester, 2016 when the practicum begins. Throughout the semester, the HC supervisor will audiotape all meetings with the candidate and the SP. We will review all the tapes throughout the semester, and at the completion of the student teaching experience. The goal is to gain a more expansive understanding of how the various actors are experiencing and interpreting the CAP. What is on paper does not always translate easily so we are hoping that the discussions will yield additional data that can assist us in improving the overall student teaching experience for all involved. |
