1 What do you hope to get out of this meeting to be more successful in your

project’s efforts to prepare a new generation of educators?

2 Project Strengths

2.1 Strengths: Maintaining and deepening partnerships with the K-12 districts

who hire the teachers trained by your funded pathway(s), using data about their student populations, instructional practices, and hiring

projections to align your programming as much as possible to their needs

2.2 Strengths: Identifying, in partnership with K-12 districts who hire teachers

trained by your funded pathway(s), the key skills, knowledge, and beliefs

of a well prepared new teacher Ensure that this set of knowledge and practices is aligned to the requirements of the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, with a focus on cross-cutting elements of new standards, including academic discourse and a focus on 21st century skills

2.3 Strengths: Building and refining opportunities for candidates to gain

fluency with identified key knowledge and practices during their clinical preparation

2.4 Strengths: Identifying and continuing to strengthen opportunities for

candidates to receive feedback on their mastery of specific knowledge and practices during clinical preparation from faculty as well as from strategically selected, well-supported mentor or master teachers

2.5 Strengths: Collecting data on candidate progress toward mastery of your

identified knowledge and practices during their training and after their graduation, building data-sharing partnerships where necessary to ensure access to information Using this data to effect changes at the college, department, pathway, course, and coaching relationship levels

Continuing to use data to refine your definition of the key knowledge and practices new teachers must master
