In the 2013 Cohort Spotlight, we have linked educator preparation reform initiatives with other state priorities to create coherence. By focusing on providing explicit instruction and support for struggling learners, our goal is to improve student outcomes. Our current initiatives include increasing rigor and readiness for new teachers, offering professional development on evidence-based practices, and analyzing program curricula to enhance literacy and writing education. It is crucial to regularly assess our progress, adapt timelines, and measure the impact for continuous improvement.

  1. Connecticut State Spotlight 2013 Cohort

  2. What We Have Accomplished • Linking all educator prep reform initiatives –EPAC, NTEP, CEEDAR – with other major state initiatives to create coherence across all • Connecting need for all new teachers to be able to provide explicit instruction, interventions and supports for struggling learners in CCR, goal of argumentation, SRBI / MTSS

  3. One Initiative We Have Been Working On • Communication of state priority of increasing rigor and readiness for “day 1” of teaching to lead to improved P-12 student learning (CCR) and supports • Professional Development Institutes for IHE Faculty on Evidence Based Practices in Literacy and Writing

  4. How Are We Accomplishing our Goal • 3 IHE Faculty Workgroups—CCSU, SCSU and USJ – engaging in analysis of planned program curricula to identify gaps, redundancies and priorities in EBP in literacy/writing

  5. Take Aways • Do not underestimate the time needed to reach goal. • Revisit timeline every six months for a reality check on how that timeline is affected by institutional contexts and organizational changes.

  6. Our Next Steps • Measure impact of curricula in 2017 • Scale up in 2017 • More directed TA with IHE workgroups to achieve goal of new curricula drafted by Jan 2016 and implemented in Fall 2016
