Roadmap for Educator Preparation Reform: Facilitation Guide
Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and Reform Center
The "Roadmap for Educator Preparation Reform" is a planning framework intended to guide and support educator preparation programs (EPPs) to integrate evidence-based and high-leverage practices within and across coursework and field experiences. The roadmap highlights the major guidelines that EPPs should consider throughout the reform process and provides supporting facilitation guidance, examples, resources, and tools from EPPs that have engaged in and benefited from this process. The roadmap is designed to emphasize a systemic approach to reform through a collaborative, ongoing analysis and continuous improvement process. This facilitation guide is intended to serve as a supplement to the online "Roadmap for Educator Preparation Reform." The facilitation guide outlines eight steps in the preparation program reform process: (1) Engage key leaders; (2) Facilitate needs assessment; (3) Determine program review focus; (4) Review programs; (5) Develop action plan; (6) Implement reforms; (7) Practice continuous improvement; and (8) Scale impact. The facilitation guide specifies outcomes for each step of the reform process and contains guiding questions that can help teams plan for effective implementation. The document can be used as a notetaking template to record information about the roles and responsibilities of team members as well as any progress toward implementation of key steps in the reform process. This document also may be helpful in communicating program reform plans with EPP leaders.
