| Goal #1 |
The Educator Preparation programs at BPU were re-aligned into a new school structure as of March 1, 2023.

Principal) to align with current leadership programs in education. BPU will complete a needs assessment. |
| Goal #2 |
BPU educator preparation programs will continue to make curricular revisions across all licensure programs to include anti-racist curriculum updates. |
