Educator Preparation
Research into Missouri’s Teacher Pipeline
In collaboration with DESE, the Walton Family Foundation recently supported a comprehensive study of teacher recruitment, preparation, and retention in Missouri. Strategy and policy organization Education First was engaged to complete this work, which included desk research, quantitative data analysis, interviews, focus groups, and surveys. We are grateful to the many EPP candidates and personnel who participated. The final report can be found at the bottom of the Strengthening Missouri's Teacher Pipeline webpage.
Educator Preparation Literacy Efforts
The Educator Preparation Section of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and Educator Preparation Providers (EPP) across the state have worked to ensure that Educator Preparation in Missouri is aligned with DESE’s Read, Lead, Exceed Project. Check out their work on the Literacy Initiatives page.
