Annual Goals

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 - 2023
Goal #1 While both formal and informal advising and advising structures are robust and supporting candidates' progress through the program and towards licensure, we aim to improve the record keeping processes around the advising that is occurring so we can provide adequate evidence to DESE in the future.
Goal #2 Maintain and improve our reciprocal relationships with partners, especially through ways in which Longy can support P-12 music educators and their students. We hope to do this not only through relationships with the supervising practitioners we work with, but also on larger district levels, getting the word out about supports we already offer, as well as expanding the ways in which we can support K-12 districts.
Goal #3 Our third goal for the next academic year is to continue improving our processes around documenting of CAP files and teacher candidate experiences. While we believe the processes are occurring adequately, it was evident in our Fall 2022 informal review, that documentation of these things is a needed area of improvement.

Annual Goals - 2022
Goal #1 We would like to find field-based experiences that are more closely aligned with what our student teachers want to teach after graduation.
Goal #2 We would like to to continue to create more partnerships with local schools to help ensure that we are not "burning out" our cooperating professionals in the K-12 schools.
Goal #3 We would like to have a dedicated on-campus staff person who responsible for ensuring that all students on campus are prepared within the MA curricular frameworks.
