University School Teacher
Education Partnership
(USTEP)
USTEP Introduction
USTEP is:
A working plan for improving, strengthening, and re-conceptualizing
the numerous collaborative efforts that already exist between the
university and area school systems. UNCA has had a long-term
commitment to serve our region. This partnership will provide an
unprecedented opportunity for systemic change that will improve the
manner in which partners collectively engage in initial preparation,
induction, and continuing professional development of teachers in
North Carolina.
USTEP Mission:
Every child in the public school has a right to teachers who are knowledgeable,
skillful, and caring. In order to ensure the development of such teachers it is
important that the university and public schools form partnerships and jointly
plan and deliver
initial preparation,
induction, and continuing
professional
development programs.
