Annual Goals - 2020
Goal #1 The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) has been immersed in rigorous curriculum revision work that builds on the strengths of current offerings and engages students in foundational learning experiences and programmatic study that reflects the education sector today. HGSE will make substantial progress on the restructure of our Master's in Education curriculum in readiness to launch elements in academic year 2021-22. Standards, subject matter knowledge and fieldwork of approved licensure programs will be embedded within the new curriculum, with the expectation that all students will develop core skills, knowledge, and ways of thinking central to the profession of education.

Annual Goals - 2019
Goal #1 Construct and launch surveys for Reading Specialists school partners' site building leaders. These surveys will complement feedback surveys launched for supervising practitioners.
Goal #2 Align major courses assessments to benchmark indicators for teacher preparation.
Goal #3 Develop a more robust training program and support resources for Teacher Supervising Practitioners.

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.
