We're working on improvements to School and District Profiles and other DESE Reports. We'd love your input! Take our quick survey to tell us what information matters most to you. Your feedback will help shape the new and improved Profiles.
This report lists the annual improvement goals reported to ESE in the educator preparation program provider’s state annual report. Providers may report up to three goals for the upcoming year and are asked to report on progress made toward the prior year’s goals. Annual goals are reported in May of the academic year listed. Data last updated January 16, 2025.

Annual Goals - 2022
Educator preparation program improvement goals from the prior year
Goal #1
Due a reorganization which included personnel changes, re-emerge as the School of Education under the College of Fine Arts, Humanities, and Social Science and continue to maintain a strong focus on quality of Licensure Programs in the School during simultaneous DESE regulation and program approval changes, DESE's own organizational changes, and the continuing Pandemic.
Goal #2
Continue strong partnerships with schools and districts who host our candidates for field experiences; when we re-emerge from the pandemic, rejuvenate program advisory boards.
