Project Pipeline Repair: Restoring Minority Male Participation and Persistence in Educator Preparation Programs Project Design Template for States and Institutions Denise Pearson June 2017 © 2017 State Higher Education Executive Officers The State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) is the national association of the chief executives of statewide governing, policy, and coordinating boards of postsecondary education. Founded in 1954, SHEEO serves its members as an advocate for state policy leadership, as a liaison between states and the federal government, as a vehicle for learning from and collaborating with peers, as a manager of multistate teams to initiate new programs, and as a source of information and analysis on educational and public policy issues. SHEEO seeks to advance public policies and educational practices to achieve more widespread access to and completion of higher education, more discoveries through research, and more applications of knowledge that improve the quality of human lives and enhance the public good. Acknowledgements There is no end to the good you can do ifyou don’t care who gets the credit. ~ Multiple sources Project Pipeline Repair: Restoring Minority Male Participation and Persistence in Educator Preparation Programs (Project Pipeline Repair, PPR, or just “Project”) is possible because of the generous support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF), founded in 1930 as an independent, private foundation by breakfast cereal pioneer, Will Keith Kellogg, is among the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States. Guided by the belief that all children should have an equal opportunity to thrive, the WKKF works with communities to create conditions for vulnerable children so they can realize their full potential in school, work, and life. SHEEO deeply appreciates the support that makes this state-based collaborative effort possible. SHEEO is a membership organization of chief executives of statewide governing and coordinating boards of higher education. Special thanks to SHEEO President George Pernsteiner and Vice President Julie Carnahan for contributing their deep understanding of higher education policy and practice on behalf of the Project. Sincere thanks are also extended to the state higher education executive officers (SHEEOs) in participating states for their leadership and advocacy on behalf of the Project: ▪ Jim Purcell, Executive Director, Alabama Commission on Higher Education ▪ Maria Markham, Director, Arkansas Department of Higher Education ▪ Joseph C. Rallo, Commissioner of Higher Education, Louisiana Board of Regents ▪ Glenn F. Boyce, Commissioner of Higher Education, Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning ▪ Jeff M. Schilz, Interim Executive Director and Vice President, South Carolina Commission on Higher Education Tremendous thanks to Carlton Morris (Tuskegee University), Leonard Lock and Paul Mohr (Alabama Commission on Higher Education), Luria Young and Verjanis Peoples (Southern University at Baton Rouge), Jeanne Burns (Louisiana Board of Regents), John Lane (South Carolina Commission on Higher Education), Nicole Strange-Martin (Claflin University), Donzell Lee and Robert Carr, Jr. (Alcorn State University), Susan Lee (Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Education), and George Herts and Garry Lewis (University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff) . This design template would not have been possible without their contributions during the first convening of Project Pipeline Repair in Boulder, Colorado, and the campus visits that followed. Finally, I must acknowledge the Project’s dedicated steering committee for its role in the ongoing development and implementation of Project Pipeline Repair. The committee is comprised of Peggy Valentine and Gregory Henderson (Winston-Salem State University), Marvin Lynn (Portland State University), Lamecko Magee (Amherst P
