We're working on improvements to School and District Profiles and other DESE Reports. We'd love your input! Take our quick survey to tell us what information matters most to you. Your feedback will help shape the new and improved Profiles.
This report lists the annual improvement goals reported to ESE in the educator preparation program provider’s state annual report. Providers may report up to three goals for the upcoming year and are asked to report on progress made toward the prior year’s goals. Annual goals are reported in May of the academic year listed. Data last updated January 16, 2025.
Annual Goals - 2022
Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year
Annual Goals - 2021
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year
Goal #1
Establish liaisons to the Educator Preparation Council (EPC Liaison) for every department: education, physical education, counseling and all relevant arts/sciences departments. EPC Liaisons work with their departments to ensure faculty teaching key courses are familiar with test objectives for the MTELs taken by their students. Further, after each department reviews pass rate data, including subarea scores, EPC liaisons work with faculty to improve courses taught with the goal of MTEL subarea scores increasing.
Goal #2
Convene focus groups to gather data on individual program efficacy from candidates. Once data is gathered, analyze the data and make plans for taking action on recommendations.
Goal #3
Analyze Gateway Task I and II data from 2020-2021. Make changes as appropriate to preparation of candidates. Also, upgrade the system used for training practicum supervisors. Implement the new training system in 2022.
Annual Goals - 2020
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year
Goal #1
Successfully implement as part of our early field-based and pre-practicum experiences the administration and collection of data for the Springfield College newly designed Gateway Tasks I & II.

Use data from the Gateway Tasks and all surveys administered to monitor individual program efficacy. Use these results to make improvements in the future as appropriate.
