Most faculty are involved in serve-learning partnerships. Also part-time faculty limits more involvement even when interest could be assessed as high. Although faculty involved in the Elementary Ed department have moderate involvement, the faculty teaching general education requirements, at present, do not have much involvement. We prepare very few secondary teachers. New England data shown is only for those institutions declaring a teacher prep program.
Opportunities change each semester.
Future plans 1. Work closely with the Department of Education and other higher education institutions on the further development of the Massachusetts teacher certification test. Take outcomes assessment seriously. We have none at this time. We are also increasing our efforts to promote community-based learning.
