Please provide any additional comments about the information provided above:

Candidates must provide a personal statement of your goals.

Section I.c Enrollment

Provide the number of students in the teacher preparation program in the following categories. Note that you must report on the number of students by ethnicity and race separately. Individuals who are non-Hispanic/Latino will be reported in one of the race categories. Also note that individuals can belong to one or more racial groups, so the sum of the members of each racial category may not necessarily add up to the total number of students enrolled.

For the purpose of Title II reporting, an enrolled student is defined as a student who has been admitted to a teacher preparation program, but who has not completed the program during the academic year being reported. An individual who completed the program during the academic year being reported is counted as a program completer and not an enrolled student.

Additional guidance on reporting race and ethnicity data.

Describe your institution's most successful strategies in meeting the assurances listed above:

"We have established collaborative partnerships with local service area districts and conducted needs assessments to determine their needs. This has been helpful in our meeting their needs. Since last year additional collaborations have been established. In addition an online professional development center has been established to serve our district in service teachers, pre service teachers and higher education faculty. Topical themes are derived from the needs assessment and from current education reform initiatives such as the Common Core Academic Standards and Cultural Competency. We engaged the services of a part-time placement coordinator for the online Master of Arts in Special Education program. She trains supervised teachers and cooperating teachers in the our assessment system, LiveText Clinical data system and makes clinical assignments. We also teach LEP through several classes in the curriculum but we do not offer a certification program in the area."
