Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Cambridge College will continue to reach out to communities to support the enrollment of underrepresented students and conduct a wider net to support the hiring of minority faculty and staff candidates. Our goal is to increase our student body to be more diverse and reflective of the community. |
| Goal #2 |
Using data from student surveys and using Edwin more effectively, program leaders will offer courses in a manner that is consistent with student needs and allows for more peer interaction. Instruction is the focus. The goal is to have candidates see the connectivity of courses in finance, law, curriculum and organization. In this regard faculty have been given different course assignments to illustrate how the courses are related in the overall goal of administration of a complex system such as a school or district. In light of data collected from students during the COVID 19 pandemic, the School of Education needs to re-examine the manner in which we deliver coursework to our student audience. In particular, special attention needs to be focused on the design of course delivery models. Students have expressed the desire to have more courses be delivered with a ZOOM and in seat balance. However, student preference in course modality will need to be continuously monitored with changes in guidance and regulations that are in place related to the pandemic. The College needs to consider student success metrics in remote learning formats compared to in-seat learning as we consider which instruction formats to best fit student needs moving forward. |
| Goal #3 |
Apply more rigor and support after accepting students into our programs. |

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.
