Collaborative Education for Equity Teacher Pipeline Partnership

The Collaborative Education for Equity (CEE) Program is a robust teacher pipeline initiative supporting Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) students from middle school through higher education and entrance into the teaching professions. The mission of the program is to create a teacher pipeline that contributes to dismantling structural racism and advances equity in education by preparing, supporting, mentoring and graduating BIPOC teachers drawn from about ten local urban, suburban and rural school districts into the teaching workforce.

Throughout your program, you will have a designated advisor to help with course scheduling, coursework and fieldwork success, and future career planning. During your student teaching experience, you will also have an assigned university supervisor to mentor you.

All of the university’s programs are accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation, which advances equity and excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 student learning.
