Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
In year two of its strategic implementation strategy, TWM will continue to make progress toward building a sustainable organization by further increasing its rating on the Organizational Health Index an additional 10% by the end of FY25. Year two implementation will include hiring full-time Development capacity to achieve fundraising goals in order to sustain organizational financial stability. |
| Goal #2 |
Derived from its strategic plan around increasing % of candidates with shared student identities, TWM will continue to expand and diversify its recruiting efforts by launching targeted recruitment campaigns in English and Spanish for BIPOC candidates, hosting recruitment events for BIPOC candidates, and offering prospective candidates the opportunity to connect with the current cohort of BIPOC Residents and TWM staff. TWM will also expand its grant funding to provide tuition assistance for BIPOC candidates and hire BIPOC, alumni recruiters to help build connections with BIPOC candidates. |
| Goal #3 |
This goal is derived from TWM's new strategic plan and meant to build on the results we saw from implementing last year's partnership communication goal. Our third goal is to increase communication with leaders by designing and implementing a strategic communication plan for partners so that they are consistently aware of the overall learning trajectory of the program, Residents' progress in regards to program gateways, Residents' MTEL pass rates, Residents' evaluation scores, and any additional measures taken to support Residents to meet program criteria such as increased advisory sessions, performance support plans, increased frequency and duration of coaching. |

Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Goal 1: The TWM board approved our new strategic plan which includes high level goals and strategies for the next five years. TWM will be implementing year one goals of this new strategic plan this year which include a greater focus on the quality and diversity of our candidates and the retention of these candidates in our districts. |
| Goal #2 |
Goal 2: Derived from our partner feedback, our second goal is to increase alignment between TWM's educator preparation program and our district partner's teacher preparation. For example, more schools now in the districts of Holyoke and Springfield have robust coaching programs that did not exist in the past. The focus will not necessarily be to align on evaluation standards, but the focus will be on coordination between internal and external coaches to align with Residents observations and growth points. In order to improve alignment, TWM will increase the frequency and the effectiveness of communication about candidate growth, progress and coaching areas of focus, between TWM coaches and district/school personnel. |
| Goal #3 |
Goal 3: This goal is related to DESE's Mass Literacy Initiative. Our organization took part in an Early Literacy Formative Feedback Review conducted by TPI-US in 2022-2023. This year we will review our curriculum and staff training related to evidence-based practices in early literacy for our Elementary 1-6 and Moderate Disabilities PreK-8 licensure tracks. Our goal for this year is to identify certain pieces of feedback from the Early Literacy formative Feedback Review that have the greatest leverage for improving candidate early literacy preparation and implement those suggestions. |

Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year |
| Goal #1 |
Goal: Increase Diversity of Resident Cohort We track the number of candidates of color and subgroups(Latine, Black) throughout the entire program. We respond to our weekly data to reach our targets during recruitment and enrollment. We have a long term goal of diversifying the teacher workforce to better match the student populations of Springfield and Holyoke. |
| Goal #2 |
Goal: New Strategic Plan It is time for TWM to create a new strategic plan. TWM has contracted CoSpero consulting who are focused on supporting organizations for social change and have experience with alternative education programs similar to TWM. One of the goals is to keep equity at the center of all of our work. TWM will also engage with district partners and stakeholders to create our new 3-5 year strategic plan. |
| Goal #3 |
Goal: TWM Alumni Program Create a robust alumni program that enhances the Residency program and increases opportunities for our alumni within our partner schools. Alumni would join our recruitment team as recruiters, especially with Black and Latine representation. This would include incorporating alumni into Residency training(coaches, speakers) enhancing their skills as Alumni and better prepare our candidates for teaching in our school districts. |
