Join AACTE’s Educator Preparation in Partnership with Families and Communities TAG
The AACTE Topical Action Group (TAG) on Community-Engaged Teacher Preparation has rebranded and is seeking new members. The new TAG on Educator Preparation in Partnership with Families and Communities is intended to be more inclusive of family-school partnerships and seeks to build and sustain a collaborative network of educators who are committed to redefining systems of educator preparation wherein the principles of reflection, connection, collaboration, and co-leadership alongside families and communities are elevated as essential to a field which seeks an equitable experience for all learners. The TAG will create a space for the sharing of innovative and best practices and will foster opportunities for members to collaborate on research, curate resources, and work toward the promotion of policies and strategies to improve programs of educator preparation within the universal contexts of love and justice.
Some accomplishments of the TAG in the last year include hosting a Summer Institute at Eastern Michigan University on family-school partnerships and supporting with disseminating the Educator Preparation Framework for Family and Community Partnerships co-developed by the National Association of Family School and Community Engagement (NAFSCE), AACTE, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), National Education Association (NEA) and the Mid-Atlantic Equity Center (MEAC).
