Overview

Educator preparation in the CSU is a fully collaborative endeavor with the K-12 public schools. The CSU’s outreach activities include recruiting highly successful teachers to serve as teachers/faculty in residence; partnering with local school districts to offer teacher internship programs; supporting and collaborating with K-12 partners in the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment program; establishing professional development schools that serve as lab schools for educators in training; partnering with local schools and districts in the preparation of future school administrators; and working together in the creation of joint doctoral programs to meet the growing state and regional need for fully developed education leaders. Taken together, the sample of partnership activities highlighted below represent the full continuum of educator preparation, induction, and ongoing development.
