State Recognized Partnership Agreements

In 2014, The State Board of Education revised听 .听 This policy requires EPPs to develop formalized partnership agreements with district partners, also known as LEAs.听Partnership agreements with LEAs fall under two categories:听 Primary Partnership Agreements (PPAs) and State Recognized Partnership Agreements (SRPAs).听 Both types of agreements detail how EPPs and LEAs will collaborate to ensure that candidates meet the district needs (demographic and skill-specific) as well as how educator and instructional leader candidates will participate in high-quality clinical experiences.

Educational partnerships between Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Education Provider Programs (EPPs) provide a powerful means for enhancing student achievement and cultivating a culture of collaboration. The listed State Recognized Partnership Agreements include the roles and responsibilities of EPP faculty and LEA Staff, including clinical mentors and supervisors; and clear expectations regarding the delivery of candidate support and evaluation.
