Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
The School of Education (SOE) is committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of our programs. The SOE is concentrated on making improvements in areas highlighted in the DESE Program Review of April 2018. |
| Goal #2 |
The School of Education is greatly concerned about the diminishing number of new students seeking to become educators. Members of the SOE community will work with the Cambridge College Marketing and Communications division to make our programs known in various media. It will work jointly with the Admissions division to reach out to new applicants and welcome new students into the program. |
| Goal #3 |
The School of Education recognizes its place in the community. It will continue to work with schools and districts to develop partnerships that are mutually beneficial. New programs including licensure and non-licensure opportunities will be offered to improve the quality and quantity of highly qualified educators equipped to deal with the unique demands of our times. |
