Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
SSU will continue to utilize data and analysis to make decisions around candidate readiness and site placement. Our goal is to secure funding for additional software and resources to improve our data management system. |
| Goal #2 |
SSU was approved to offer the Autism Endorsement as a certificate program within our M.Ed. Moderate Disabilities Initial License Program in July 2019. The program has received approval from university governance and will be implemented in Fall 2020. Our goal next year is to increase enrollment in both programs. |
| Goal #3 |
The Initial Licensure programs have worked hard to pilot new Gateway Assessments within the 4&1 pathway and MAT/M.Ed. pathways. The majority of the programs are now fully aligned and integrated with the exception of the Moderate Disabilities program which has just completed revision. We are excited to begin the process of collecting data and evaluating the new assessments within the programs. |

Early field experiences in our 4&1 initial license programs have increased significantly. Students enrolled in the programs now complete 180 hours in the field during their junior and senior years. Students are placed in our partnership districts and are visited by program supervisors at least two times during each semester. We hope to be able to increase the number of hours in the next year. |
| Goal #2 |
We are looking to recruit and hire additional staff to establish and oversee the early field experiences in our 4&1 programs. This staff will be charged with developing policies and protocols pertaining the the professional dispositions of our candidates. |
| Goal #3 |
New lesson plan development and pilot- In 2017 we will develop and pilot a new lesson plan assessment to be used in all initial teaching programs. Once the lesson plan has been accepted and approved by faculty we will begin implementation and data collection in Fall 2018. |
