Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Data collection and management remain ongoing goals. We have instituted an annual data retreat for ED faculty examining data collected over the year. Our objective is to build a more efficient, replicable and stable multi-year system to more effectively identify what's working and where change is needed. |
| Goal #2 |
We will continue to add and refine materials to support implementation of the Early Literacy guidelines across all programs to ensure all candidates are prepared to support literacy development at all grade levels. One component of this goal is participation in the Hampden-Wilbraham School District Consortium for a second year, collaborating with Edprep colleagues and local district leaders to share what works and identify what's needed in schools. |
| Goal #3 |
Further integrate the updated PSTs and CAP guidelines into program course materials and documentation. |
| Annual Goals - 2024 |

Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Continue to refine data collection systems and identify long term privacy-safe storage for candidates' electronic files. |
| Goal #2 |
Continue to take a deeper dive into Early Literacy guidelines, by adding to and/or updating methods coursework expectations. Pending funding, we will also participate in a local consortium of K-12 and higher education programs collaborating on early literacy needs and practices in the field. |
| Goal #3 |
Increase MTEL supports including: collaboration with A&S content colleagues, updating materials to support self study, and revising curriculum to deepen content knowledge. |
| Annual Goals - 2023 |
|---|
|
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
We are working on redesigning our data collection systems to better reveal candidate supports offered across campus units, and to shift to electronic formats allowing for better storage and long term analysis of data. |
| Goal #2 |
We plan to review and revise, where needed, our early literacy and content area literacy coursework and assignments to better support candidates' efficacy on MTELs and in field experiences. |
| Goal #3 |
Continue to pilot and refine tools supporting candidates' identification and development of pedagogy related to SEL, UDL, and culturally sustaining/equity-centered practices (e.g. look fors, observation guides, checklists with examples...); to bridge theory and practice. |
