Educator Effectiveness

Formal Review

Sponsoring organizations with currently approved educator preparation programs nearing the end of their approval window that would like to continue operating programs are required to undergo a formal review. A periodic formal review ensures educator preparation programs' continued growth and effectiveness beyond their initial approval. Sponsoring organizations undergoing formal review are grouped by cohort in accordance with their review cycle.

DESE's goal is to implement a formal review process that is effective, efficient, consistent, and equity-driven.
