Annual Goals - 2019
Goal #1 Work to align pre-practicum experiences to the new pre-practicum guidelines and to ensure that gateway assessments are consistent across baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate programs.
Goal #2 We recently demonstrated need for French, Spanish, and Mandarin licenses (grades 5-12, bacc. and post-bacc.). We will be working to get these foreign language programs approved, recruit students for the programs, connect with public school partners, and launch the foreign language programs.
Goal #3 Work to implement a series of workshops for new Supervising Practitioners and Program Supervisors using DESE's online calibration tool.

Annual Goals - 2018
Goal #1 Pilot program (a series of courses and fieldwork experiences), which will allow our candidates to earn an add-on license in moderate disabilities, which is an identified area of need in our partner districts.
Goal #2 Align English and History licensure programs to incorporate the entire fifth through twelfth grade range.
Goal #3 Work to create a more direct pipeline from the Urban Education Pathway to licensure programs at Smith.

Annual Goals - 2017
Goal #1 Use the partner stakeholder survey results to inform and guide our continuous improvement efforts as well as future discussions with our partners.
Goal #2 In response to partner feedback about their needs, we plan to develop offerings leading to the SEI endorsement for inservice teachers.
Goal #3 Explore the feasibility and develop a program (a series of courses and fieldwork) which will allow our candidates to earn an add-on license in moderate disabilities.
