Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Pre-Practicum Gateways: The School of Education will implement and assess new pre-practicum gateways in methods courses to make sure that candidates are provided with opportunities to apply learning into practice through authentic teaching experiences, supported practice, and feedback. |
| Goal #2 |
Subject Matter Knowledge (SMK): The School of Education will review and assess its change in approach to SMKs to ensure that teacher candidates move beyond a basic knowledge of the curriculum frameworks to a level of fluency with the academic standards so that teacher candidates can teach and support K-12 students in mastering content. Regular meetings with Department Chairs will ensure a continuum of content knowledge with the MA Curriculum frameworks in all required content courses. |
| Goal #3 |
Multimodal Learning: The School of Education will assist teacher candidates to be teachers of multimodal learning (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) by modeling teaching methods using both synchronous and asynchronous tools. Faculty will share best practices and techniques at Department meetings. |
