Discover how PA Teacher Educators integrate the CRSE Competencies

The CRSE Repository is organized by “Course” or “Program Element.” Clicking on a Course or Program Element will bring you to the webpage dedicated to a faculty member’s contribution to the initiative. Initiative contributions, developed through participation in the CRSE Community of Practice, focus on either a course or teacher education program element (such as a field experience assessment or rubric) that was revised to reflect and integrate one or more Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Education Competencies.
