The Illinois State Board of Education is convening a pilot set of regional Continuous Improvement Communities of Practice (CICPs) in 2018. The goal of the pilot effort is to create a unified effort driven by regional educator preparation program (EPP) and district teams to insure that all P-12 students have ‘learner ready teachers’ day one in the classroom, particularly teachers certified in high need areas. Through this effort, districts and EPPs will share and look at data to drive action together and ensure that district needs drive shifts in EPPs’ pipelines, structures and systems.
