teaching, collaborative partnership experience, and yearlong residency). Accordingly, the MOU Parties agree to the following collaborative goals:

• Co-construction of Effective Measures of Clinical and Field Experience: Due to restrictions during the pandemic, the way this was implemented was temporarily paused. However, collaborative meetings held during fall 2022 resulted in the creation of a new protocol for the evaluation of residents A spring 2023 meeting will focus on modifying and innovating field experiences now that schools are back face-to-face. Lessons learned from the Pandemic will be shared and discussed.

• Establish a Framework for Transferring Data: Agreement was reached between the Districts and the EPP for the purposes of monitoring and evaluating the preparation and effectiveness of candidates/residents, completers, and mentor teachers working in Districts pursuant to all applicable federal and state regulations governing the sharing of student-level data, teacher evaluations, and personally identifiable documentation.

From this meeting, University Supervisors, Mentor Teachers, and Residents agreed that all portions of the Danielson Rubric should be completed for the residents. The section that was not being completed before dealt with professionalism aspects that the university supervisor may or may not see in one observation, but the mentor would see throughout the time with the resident. It was decided that this portion would be completed during the post conference with mentors and shared with residents at that time. Also, any portion of the rubric that was not completed by the university supervisor the score would be provided by the mentor teacher at that time as well.
