Submit Institutional Reports or
Proposed/Modified Educator Preparation Programs

You can now submit your Institutional Report (IR) and new/modified educator preparation program proposals online. This provides a documented record of your submission and allows you to view the status online, at your convenience. Here is how it works:

1. Prepare your IR using the IR Template and save it as one document.

   • Admission requirements;
   • Advising provided to teacher candidates;
   • Integration of theory and practice in coursework and field based training;
   • Supervised field based experience (at least 800 hours);

   • Assessment of candidates’ subject matter and professional knowledge and ability to apply the professional knowledge base.

   New program proposals for public institutions should also include:

   • Overview of proposed program
   • Fit with institution's role and mission
   • Fit with gtPathways or justification why gtPathways requirements should be waived, e.g., national accreditation requirements.
   • Evidence of need
