USPREP | Equipping & Empowering Educators

CLASSROOM-READY DAY ONE

The University-School Partnerships for the Renewal of Educator Preparation (US PREP) National Center is a comprehensive, multi-organizational collaborative with the mission of attracting, training and retaining high quality, racially diverse teachers for underserved communities across the country. The ultimate goal of the coalition is to positively impact K-12 students by building teacher candidate content knowledge and competency to meet ALL students where they are and advance their learning by giving them what they need —especially focusing on historically underserved students; such as Black, Latinx, Native American, and/or economically disadvantaged students.

In US PREP, coalition members share common teacher preparation program goals. Members are committed to:

Building teacher candidate competencies to meet the needs of all students, especially our historically underserved students

Using data to support continuous improvement efforts

Supporting teacher educators with preparing novices to work with all students, especially our historically underserved students

Building strong partnerships with schools in order to meet the needs of the P-12 students in our communities
