The College of Education and Human Sciences (COEHS) at the University of New Mexico recently welcomed two Teacher Preparation Inspection evaluators (TPI-US) as part of the State of New Mexico’s literacy pilot program. The evaluators visited the college in the week of April 21 to assess how well the college prepares its graduates to support students in mastering literacy.
The inspectors evaluated COEHS across three domains: teaching the science of reading, students’ literacy instruction in field sites, and partnerships within the community and school districts. The report acknowledged that COEHS is a leader in teaching the science of reading to teacher candidates, with a unique commitment that exceeds standards seen elsewhere in the country.
Preliminary findings highlighted the strength of COEHS teacher preparation programs, commending evidence-based coursework, field experiences, and partnerships with schools that facilitate enactment of literacy science in New Mexico classrooms. The initial assessment recognized COEHS’ significant impact on promoting literacy in public schools and reservations.
The feedback from TPI inspectors on April 26 lauded COEHS for its profound institution and program, emphasizing its significant influence on schools. A second site visit is scheduled for the upcoming academic year, with a formal evaluation expected in the months ahead. The visit aimed to provide an independent assessment of COEHS’ commitment to evidence-based practices and structured literacy, aligning with efforts to improve literacy outcomes for New Mexican students.
