FROM DESIGN TO PRACTICE | Founding Year Report 2025
The promise starts long before a teacher’s first day in the classroom.
It starts in preparation: in clear expectations for candidate readiness, purposeful opportunities to learn and practice, strong coaching and feedback, teacher educators who model the work of teaching, evidence that guides improvement, and partnerships that connect preparation to the needs of P-12 students and schools.
EdPrep Partners was founded to help educator preparation programs, states, districts, and partner organizations move from knowing what strong preparation requires to doing it consistently. To make quality preparation focused, actionable, and visible. The work is urgent, and full of possibilities.
It lives in what candidates experience.
It lives in what teacher educators do.
It lives in how programs use evidence to strengthen preparation.
It lives in the routines that make quality preparation both possible, and routine.
In 2025, EdPrep Partners put that commitment to work: defining quality, examining preparation in practice, supporting implementation, and building a national team with the field experience to help partners move from evidence to action.
Let’s make teacher preparation better together.
