Communication and Newsletters

We release a monthly newsletter to keep K12 districts and preparation providers informed about what we are working on, what we are learning, and what we have coming up. We regularly feature research, new resources, MTEL updates, and licensure updates. You can subscribe to our newsletter at DESE Educator Effectiveness Newsletter Subscription Form. Check out our newsletter archive to view previous issues.

We regularly provide email updates about specific Ed Prep topics. To streamline communication, we encourage all of our programs to keep your contact information with us up to date. You can update your organization's contact information using Educator Preparation Contact Information Form.

He or she can expect to receive minimal communication (unless also identified as the primary or secondary contact) and will only be included on emails associated with significant announcements.
