Teacher Education Advisory Committee (TEAC)

Description

The purpose of the Teacher Education Advisory Committee (TEAC) is to obtain input from teacher education stakeholders regarding the preparation of teachers by Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU). The Committee will advise SMSU on issues related to the future direction for teacher preparation, the recruitment and retention of high quality candidates for the teaching career, and strategies for improving delivery of programs and services. TEAC provides input from PreK-12, community, business, and other education systems to support a goal that teachers are fully prepared with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to teach in today's diverse classrooms. The Dean of Business, Education, Professional, and Graduate Studies, the Education Department Chair, and the Accreditation Coordinator facilitate the process. A Graduate Assistant will support communication and arrangements for TEAC meetings and activities.
