Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
The Education Division Faculty will engage in an analysis of education courses to determine the effectiveness of current practices in supporting a candidate's initial introduction to the Professional Standards for Teachers and Subject Matter Knowledge (ie. opportunities for guided observations, mixed-reality simulations, and mock teaching embedded into coursework requirements) and develop recommendations for course work as required by ESE Guidelines for the Pre-Practicum (2018). Completion of this goal will ensure that all graduates of the licensure programs have had sufficient opportunity to build readiness for full responsibility in licensure role. |
| Goal #2 |
The Education Division Faculty will develop a set of recommendations/actions to ensure that undergraduate students in licensure programs take MTELs in a timeframe aligned to the appropriate coursework. Completion of this goal will result in an increase in the percentage of undergraduate students who take and pass the MTELs associated with their selected area of licensure (ie. Communication and Literacy MTEL, the General Curriculum Math MTEL, etc.). |
| Goal #3 |
The Education Division Faculty will work to formalize one or more partnerships with local school districts. Completion of this goal will ensure high quality pre-practicum and practicum teaching experiences for students in the initial licensure programs. |
