Charge: The Educator Preparation Committee (formerly the TSPC Coordination Group) consists of program directors, program coordinators, faculty, and staff who coordinate and support programs leading toward licensure from Oregon’s Teaching Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC). The EPC meets to discuss the shared academic and logistical implications of TSPC and AAQEP accreditation expectations and the potential efficiencies that can be achieved by cross-program coordination of these expectations from a shared perspective. This group discusses needs, challenges, successes, and operational approaches that can benefit from group problem-solving and advances proposals for operational and financial efficiency as well as for academic improvement.

Membership: Includes faculty and staff working to support licensure programs within the scope of Oregon’s Teacher Standards and Practices Commission

Facilitator/Chair: Zeni Colorado-Resa, Assistant Dean for Academic Accreditation and Operations, jcolorad@uoregon.edu
