The Kansas State Department of Education is seeking KSDE-trained program reviewers to review educator preparation programs this spring.
The deadline to sign up is March 10: https://ksde.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8C9BkANa2JM66Qm
Higher education institutions must have approved programs for all areas for which they wish to make licensing recommendations, so these reviews are vital to maintaining strong educator preparation in Kansas. Each KSDE-accredited institution’s programs are reviewed on a seven-year cycle, 18 months in advance of the unit’s accreditation visit.
Trained reviewers thoroughly examine the description and supporting documents of an educator preparation program in their content area, and work with fellow team members (3-4 reviewers per content area) to determine whether the program meets the Kansas higher education preparation program standards for that area. They also write any Areas for Improvement (AFI) and complete a program review team report using a provided template. Refresher training is provided at the start of each review.
KSDE appreciates the time and expertise of reviewers and encourages that time spent on reviews be recognized as professional development service to the profession.
