West Virginia's State Department of Education:             A Focus on Innovative Teacher Preparation

10/20/2017

It was a true delight to travel to West Virginia this week to participate in the State Department of Education Meeting held October 19-20, 2017. The title of the event was “Collaborating to Strengthen Clinical Partnerships to Ensure That All Our Children Are Well.” Louisiana Tech’s Clinical Residency Center was invited to share the story of the TEAM (Teacher Educators and Mentors) Model and the transition from traditional student teaching to full-year clinical residencies across all teacher preparation programs. Additional invited programs included the National Center for Teacher Residencies, The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, The Ohio Department of Education’s Resident Educator Program, and the University of South Dakota’s Teacher Residency (USDTR) Program.

It was also an honor to participate in a Zoom presentation from Dr. Linda Darling-Hammon’s Learning Policy Institute to learn more about national trends in teacher preparation programs. The institute provides a variety of data on their site including this interesting article on teacher residencies:

At the heart of our TEAM Model are the voices of the residents, mentors, school leaders, district leaders, university leaders, and state department leaders. Westat Senior Project Director, Wesley Williams, said it best in his opening to the meeting, a traditional greeting of the Maasai people in Africa “…and how are the children?"

If we all keep our eyes on what matters most, the children, great things will come from our collaborations. The audience of this meeting embodied what is critical to change…an entire team! It was a delight to meet with university faculty, state department leaders, school principals, and teachers to discuss the challenges and rewards of rethinking teacher preparation programs through the design of a quality residency program.

I look forward to following West Virginia’s story of change for the future of their children! Best wishes!
