Annual Goals

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 October, 04 2023.

Annual Goals - 2018
Goal #1 Work with our internal research and evaluation group to develop a logic model and strategic plan for our Licensure Program.
Goal #2 Evaluate existing pre-practicum experiences within the individual courses in our program and develop an action plan for developing new pre-practicum field experiences to align with anticipated guidelines from DESE
Goal #3 Update our existing process to assess candidates's disposition for teaching to align with CAP.

Annual Goals - 2017
Goal #1 To revise current syllabi in teacher licensure programs to include social justice and equity resources and assignments appropriate to course content
Goal #2 To pilot an ESL licensure program for paraprofessionals
Goal #3 To partner with school districts and other SOs in the region to diversify the educator workforce

Annual Goals - 2016
Goal #1 Provide training sessions for supervising practitioners and program supervisors addressing aspects of CAP, Candidate Assessment of Performance, such as new roles of responsibilities under CAP, rubrics to assess candidates, and observation reports.
Goal #2 Required pre-practicum experiences in licensure programs will utilize the gradual release of responsibility so that candidates will move from observing classroom behavior and instruction to teaching students and reflecting on student learning.
Goal #3 CES Licensure, the Five College Public School Partnership, and Ed Prep providers in the Pioneer Valley region recently met to develop a plan for diversifying the educator workforce. One strategy that the group suggested was to increase cross-cultural competency among higher education faculty members involved in teacher preparation programs, in the belief that this action may support higher levels of enrollment and retention of diverse teacher candidates. CES will offer Social Justice and Equity training to all faculty members in our Initial licensure programs beginning this year.
