Decisions based on data and input
1. Better prepare candidates to work with students with exceptionalities.– Co-teaching model (pairing SPED faculty with content faculty)– Provide field experiences for our AEDX 200 candidates
2. Provide enhanced field experiences for candidates– Establishment of Professional Development Schools
Future directions based on data and input
1. Provide broader based graduate program to meet the needs of more teachers.– New M.Ed. in Teacher Education
2. Provide enhanced field experiences for candidates– Establishment of Professional Development Schools at the
Middle and High School Level– Develop M.A.T. program at secondary level– Year long professional program for elementary education
