Accomplishments  Stabilized leadership  Increased level of members’ participation in the monthly meetings  Greater collaboration with SUED and OACTE on key teacher education policies  Close cooperation with the Office of Academic Quality and Assurances of the Ohio Board of Regents on accreditation and program review mechanisms  Ohio Educator Preparation Metrics  Took a position on accreditation, teacher accountability, NCTQ and TfA  Endorsed TPA  Liaised with the Ohio Education Leadership Forum  Liaised with AILACTE, our national counterpart

After-thought Be firmly rooted and bend without breaking!

Rootedness OAPCTE Stay rooted in our long history of collaboration and cooperation with our public counterparts Individual Members Stay rooted in your individual institutional charism This is your tap root! Teacher Education Stay rooted in the concept and process of “learning” This is the tap root for teacher education, not “schooling”!

Flexibility OAPCTE Attend to the signs of the times Nurture awareness by being engaged in the dialogue on “learning” Work closely with SUED, OACTE, and AILACTE Individual Members Keep your finger on the pulse of the education marketplace Data, data, data Live with complexity by being agile programmatically

Flexibility (continued) Teacher education Boldly go where no one has gone before! Embrace learning as an open system (“open minds”) Facilitate connected learning (“linked hands”) Create a feedback loop to guide higher order decision-making (“deeply conscious”)

Gratitude Able support of Jennifer, Linda, Carol, Judy and the regional delegates Collegial support from Renee and Paul of SUED, and Mike of OACTE Openness of Tom and Sheryl of OBR in working with us on key issues Finally, special thanks to Judy who is stepping down as treasurer for all the work she has done for OAPCTE all these years.
