Goals of the Bluefield Consortium of Professional Development Schools

  1. Continue to refine our current teacher preparation program to a standards-based model which emphasizes accountability and also prepares teachers who are knowledgeable in content, proficient in pedagogy and the use of technology, and skilled in working with all students.
  2. Develop model clinical sites and field requirements to prepare teachers who are competent in helping students in grades K-9 to meet state and national standards.
  3. Promote student achievement through the improvement of teacher quality and ongoing local inquiry through the collaborative structure.
  4. Foster positive relationships among students, staff, parents, administrators, and community members.
