In addition to the opportunities below, our team will continue to communicate and collect feedback through our Monthly EE Newsletter and regular attendance at SCOPE, MACTE Board, and COMTEC meetings. The Educator Preparation Advisory Group and PST/CAP Working Group will also continue to collaborate with our team throughout the year to inform specific projects.
The Guidelines and resources below are anticipated to be updated during 2024-2025. We will update this page regularly regarding the anticipated release of drafts, memos, or requests for feedback on these materials.
Guidelines for Approved Professional Teacher ProgramsWe will be developing these Guidelines to create clear expectations for approved Professional Teacher programs. In Fall 2024, we will focus on stakeholder engagement and then will build out a timeline for the revisions.
**New Professional Teacher programs will not be accepted for review during this period of development.**
