Elementary Education Partnership Council (EPC)

The EED Partnership Council (EPC) consists of members representing groups that interact with the EED credential program and provide a broad array of perspectives ranging from voices within the program (credential candidates, EED faculty, university supervisors) to our collaborating school districts (mentor teachers, administrators, Humboldt County Office of Education), to teachers' unions and parent associations. This council works with EED faculty in policy development and serves an oversight function.

Overview: The EED Partnership Council participates in HSU's Elementary Education Program in two key ways:

  • By engaging in ongoing and purposeful dialogue on substantive issues central to the design and implementation of the EED Program and by identifying and grappling with key program issues.
  • By developing program policies and reviewing program practices pertaining to the recruitment, selection, and advisement of candidates; development of curriculum; delivery of instruction; selection of field sites; design of field experiences; selection and preparation of mentor teachers and university supervisors; and assessment and verification of teaching competence.

Note: EPC meetings are open to the public. For additional information see EED Handbook.

EPC is currently selecting members for the 2008-2009 academic year.
