The Teacher
Preparation Initiative (TPI) will maximize teacher effectiveness and increase
student achievement by transforming and strengthening teacher education through
collaborative partnerships between SCSU and P-12 school districts
Our vision really speaks to the heart of the work we have been doing
in TPI over the past several years. Much
of our initial focus was fostering strong collaboration and partnership among teacher
education faculty across campus and between SCSU and our P-12 partners. As we began to think about sustainability,
institutionalization and the expansion of these P-16 partnerships, our district
superintendents spearheaded conversations to develop a Center for Partnership
at SCSU.
The Bush Foundation was excited about the direction of our visioning
for this center and blogged about it: “St. Cloud State and P-12 partners spark
innovative Center for Partnership talks”.
