Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
Focusing on the practice of continuous improvement, WSU is formalizing a data review process and using the data analysis to guide decision making. During the year of 2023-2024, a student satisfaction survey was introduced and given to all students in the spring. This data was then used during the 2024-2025 year to improve student support offered. The survey was administered again in 2024-2025 and will be used this summer to refine student supports and practices of the programs. |

During the 2024-2025 year, extensive conversations occurred around the alignment of the new PST's with particular focus on curriculum literacy and early literacy. The goal for 2025-2026 is to bring together student samples generated around curriculum literacy and early literacy to ensure these PST's support student's reaching the demonstrate level in practicum. |

Formalizing field placements and partnerships, is now focused on ensuring equitable experiences for our teacher candidates. In particular, during 2025-2026, WSU will be piloting program supervision workshops on quality feedback, the early literacy observation, as well as how the updated PST's are now reflected in courses. |
