Educator preparation program improvement goals for the upcoming program year |
| Goal #1 |
It has become abundantly clear that students are not following through on basic logistical expectations such as CORIs, Fingerprints, MTELs, Substitute Teaching Paperwork. Meg Ober and I hope to front load these expectations BEFORE the start of the student-teaching semester and streamline the processes. I hope to create a course on Canvas that has checkpoints (the way the JEBI Certificate Program has set theirs up), so. that we can easily track who has completed what items. And I will also make it clear as part of the Pre-Practicum course that if students do not complete the tasks, they will not be allowed or will be delayed in starting their Practicum. |
| Goal #2 |
I'd like to build on a recruitment pilot that I tried this year. I created a spreadsheet of intro courses and had the senior TEP students sign up to visit some of the courses to talk about the TEP. While I think it was a good idea, it didn't yield any new sign ups or interest. I'd like to think more about how we can reach more students, without the burden falling on just me to reach an entire campus of students. |
| Goal #3 |
I believe there is always work to be done and improvements to be made as we look to prepare anti-racist educators. I made some slight changes to my Practicum curriculum this year, but I plan to front load more of the vocabulary into Pre-Practicum and other early courses, so the students are well versed BEFORE they get to Practicum and their full-time placements. I will be asking them to look for examples of anti-racist pedagogy and culturally and linguistically sustaining practices during their observations, so they are ready to include them in their own lesson plans. |

| Goal #1 |
With changes to the formal review on the horizon and an extra emphasis on data collection, the Education Department will develop additional surveys in order to gauge effectiveness and success. |
| Goal #2 |
The Education Department as a whole will be completing a Needs Assessment in order to determine our next hiring moves. This will directly impact the TEP as new instructors, tenure track faculty, and professors of practice will be able to offer courses that our TEP students need. |
| Goal #3 |
As DESE shifts to require anti-racist teaching practices both in the academic offerings and in the teacher candidates' practice, we will work to ensure lesson plans, activities, and reflections incorporate these strategies so that professors and teacher candidates are thinking about anti-racism before they plan a lesson or unit. |
