Annual Goals - 2020
Goal #1 We will focus on hiring diverse faculty members who add new perspectives to our program.
Goal #2 We will continue to develop partnerships by working on our role as a leader in the art education community. This includes hosting MAEA conferences and events, offering our teacher exhibition Inspired Views each year, and creating a Teacher Summer Institute.
Goal #3 We will continue to revise the curriculum as needed to meet the needs of the new MA Frameworks. We will explore ways to revise our Teaching Students with Disabilities course to include meeting the needs of all diverse learners.

Annual Goals - 2019
Goal #1 We look forward to the implementation of the updated MA Visual Arts Framework in the fall and will explore ways to engage students with learning about and using these new standards.
Goal #2 We will create new training programs for the larger cohort of Supervising Practitioners and Program Supervisors that will be joining our program this fall.
Goal #3 We will revise the Current Issues class running this fall to focus on contemporary art and practice, in addition to other pertinent issues in Art Education.

Annual Goals - 2018
Goal #1 We will continue to work on developing our partnerships and respond to the needs of PK-12 districts/schools. In particular, we will focus on partnering with schools and districts in diverse communities.
Goal #2 We will continue to refine our program, this year reviewing our curriculum and making sure connections are made and deepened across all courses. We will integrate CAP into all levels of the program and use it for observations and assessment prior to pre-practicum. We will continue to focus on meeting the needs of diverse learners and strengthen our students' understanding and experience of supporting ELLs.
Goal #3 As our program grows, we aim to meet the needs of our students by securing quality partnerships, practicum sites, and mentors for this larger cohort.
