Our Goals & Outcomes

Building Teacher

Candidate Competencies

• The provider/university systematically collects, analyzes, and uses pre-service teacher candidate data, K-12 school system feedback, and graduate data (attitudinal, observational, outcome) to make instructional and programmatic decisions.
• The teacher preparation program monitors the reliability of data about candidate knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
• The teacher preparation program systematically measures the fidelity of program implementation and assesses whether key program features correlate to desired outcomes.
