Center Partnership and Task Forces

Participate in online monthly Center Partnership and Task Force meetings which convene more than 40 deans, chairs, directors, and education faculty, as well as PK-12 administrators and teachers and leading educators to explore key issues in preparation, practice, teaching, learning, and leadership. Our current work includes advocating for equity and diversity, implementing culturally responsive practices, growing teacher leadership, and effecting rigorous recruitment, clinical preparation and retention policies and practices.

The Center’s Task Forces are working groups that convene leading
PK-20 educators to advance critical education initiatives
by bringing the best known research forward and collaborating on evidence-based practices and policies to implement in education preparation and practice programs. The Center’s working task force teams include:

  • Literacy
  • Teacher Leader
  • Diverse Pipeline:  Project LEAD (Leaders in Education Advocating for Diversity)
  • Culturally Responsive Teaching and Leading Standards
  • Professional Learning
  • Mathematics
  • Special Education

Center Partners are encouraged to join one or more task
force groups.
