Commission Resources for MS/SS Programs

  • Program Sponsor Alerts - Important alerts for all educator preparation programs.
  • Clinical Practice Guidance - Clinical Practice Guidance (September 2017) – Guidance on certain areas of Common Standard 3 and MS/SS Program Standards related to fieldwork and clinical practice requirements.
  • Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) Information - TPA Webpage – Information on the approved TPA models and how to transition to the new models.
  • Office Hours for Program Leaders - The Professional Services Division is holding office hours for program leaders. The office hours allow programs to share challenges, successes, and ideas about program implementation, as well as get feedback from other program leaders and Commission staff. Commission staff will not be preparing a presentation for the office hours as the office hours are intended to serve as a forum for a conversation among program leaders with Commission staff providing information as needed. The office hours will take place every other week as provided in the schedule below.
