The Clinical Partnerships Committee (CPC) serves as a collaborative forum for educator preparation faculty, PK-12 partners, clinical supervisors, teacher candidates, completers and other stakeholders. The CPC supports the development, evaluation and continuous improvement of partnerships and clinical experiences by reviewing data, providing feedback on assessments and instruments and contributing to the co-construction of handbooks, policies, procedures and other program resources.

A central goal of this important group is to foster meaningful stakeholder engagement and shared decision-making in support of high-quality educator preparation. Through ongoing dialogue and collaboration, members provide valuable insight into the needs and priorities of schools and districts, helping the program strengthen clinical experiences and prepare teacher candidates to meet the evolving needs of learners, schools and communities.

As part of the educator preparation program's quality assurance system, the CPC meets once each semester to review program data, discuss emerging trends and challenges, provide stakeholder feedback and identify opportunities for continuous improvement. This ongoing partnership helps ensure that program decisions are informed by the experiences and perspectives of those most closely engaged in educator preparation and practice.
