  2. One Initiative We Have Been Working On • Developing a set of “Core Competencies” • focused on literacy grades 4-12 • all programs include in their curricula for general and special education candidates and school leaders

  3. What We Have Accomplished • Established state goals • Utilized ICs • Ongoing program reform • Summer Work Session • Define core competencies • Integrate into literacy programs, 4-12 • Revise syllabi, assignments, lesson plans

  4. How We Achieved Our Accomplishment • Began with one IHE • Inclusive planning committee for scaling-up • BoR, SEA, IHE representation • Determined objectives & outcomes • IHE faculty invited & confirmed • State leadership guiding the work

  5. Take Aways: Establishing goals addressing the divergent demographic and economic needs of a large, sparsely populated, rural state such as South Dakota requires open, honest dialogue. Each campus has a unique set of needs and goals! Deciding on goals & objectives that address our state vision as well as each campus’ is a challenge requiring time, trust, diligence, and patience.

  6. Our Next Steps Develop a common understanding of the “Core Competencies” Focus activities on literacy grades 4-12 Integrate competencies into identified courses (at least 4 courses per IHE) to be piloted by fall, 2016 Identify necessary professional learning opportunities for faculty Plan a collaborative research project with participating CEEDAR IHEs that would result in research, presentations, and publications
