EdPrep Partners

EdPrep Partners is a national nonprofit technical assistance center dedicated to dramatically improving the quality of educator preparation. We partner with educator preparation programs, districts, state agencies, and funders to strengthen the systems, practices, and educator development that ensure every new teacher enters the classroom well prepared from day one.

EdPrep Partners works alongside educator preparation programs and public education partners to move preparation from insight to action.

Across the country, many preparation programs have access to data, research, and policy guidance but lack the structured support needed to translate those inputs into sustained changes in coursework, clinical experiences, and teacher educator practice. EdPrep Partners exists to close that gap.

Our work is grounded in a clear definition of quality educator preparation and focuses on the practices and systems that most directly influence candidate readiness. We support partners through program performance reviews, strategic planning, implementation support, coaching, capacity building, and ongoing monitoring to ensure improvement efforts lead to durable change.

EdPrep Partners is pathway agnostic and works across traditional, residency, and alternative certification models. We collaborate closely with faculty, clinical supervisors, program leaders, and district partners to strengthen preparation in ways that are practical, evidence based, and responsive to local context.

At our core, we believe preparation matters and that strong systems, aligned practice, and intentional support for teacher educators are essential to building a stable, effective educator workforce.
