Establishing a shared lexicon,
Identifying model protocols and best practices, and
Developing actionable recommendations for the field to define and align high-quality clinical practice in teacher preparation and to advance operationalized practice.
The CPC is currently working to develop a white paper with an anticipated release in 2017.
Understanding that partnerships and programs have unique characteristics, the goal of the commission is to capture the various ways highly effective clinical practice is implemented across the country.
Following the release of the white paper, the CPC will embark on emissary work to continue to support the advancement of clinical practice across the nation.
