Building stronger partnerships with CT's to see what skills our candidates are missing and to have a sense of what the current issues are in the classrooms that we may not be addressing.

Creating an uniform opportunity for new instructors to gain agency and efficacy in their teaching without feeling they're having to do it on their own or from the kindness of another instructor.

Meeting the needs of the whole candidate (social emotional, academic, behavioral, mental health, physical) while still maintaining a rigorous program with high standards.

Other CSUs who have high pass rates on the CalTPA provide two semesters of 3 units each of a synchronous CalTPA support course. That's 3 units in fall and 3 more units in spring. We only offer 3 units in spring. I have said this before and was told it was impossible. I really think this solution would reduce stress on our students and solve lots of problems!

One problem: A collective commitment around supporting our candidates' development of critical consciousness and justice centered teaching practices.

I would love to ask faculty to highlight on their syllabi where they are aligning their courses to the justice centered frameworks we have in place. It could be things they've always done, it could be new things they've added. Or perhaps some sort of matrix (OH NO) showing which courses include which elements

I would love to hear from our 1 year Alumni who just finished their first year (or two) as new teachers. I want to know what was critical skills they used, areas they felt strong/confident in and of course things they feel were missing from their preparation. (~KT)

More communication/feedback from our CT and school staff on what skills should be promoted in our coursework. Tell us what new teachers need most! (~KT)
