Assessments indicate that candidates can demonstrate and apply proficiencies related to diversity. Experiences provided for candidates include working with diverse populations, including higher education and school faculty, diverse candidates, and diverse students in P-12 schools. 4(a) Design, implementation, and evaluation of curriculum and experiences Proficiencies Related to Diversity STEP seeks to prepare and support teacher leaders working with diverse learners to achieve high intellectual, academic, and social standards by creating equitable and successful schools and classrooms. (See HYPERLINK "SupportingDocuments/STEP_MissionStatement.doc"STEP Mission Statement.) STEP works to expand the goal of diversity among candidates, faculty, and P-12 students to include goals of equity and excellence. Demographic diversity in itself is not sufficient. To narrow the achievement gap among students from different socio-economic, racial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds, students with exceptionalities, and students of different sexual orientation, candidates learn to create equitable classrooms and to recognize the strengths, interests, and needs of all students. Beyond understanding the curricular and pedagogical challenges of teaching in diverse classrooms, candidates learn how to capitalize upon the diverse intellectual contributions, ideas, and perspectives that emerge in heterogeneous groups of students. To meet these goals, candidates are supported in developing the following proficiencies: designing learning segments where students can access information relevant to the task through multiple representations, via different media, and in different ways; developing assessments that allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding in multiple formats, orally and in writing; using different participant structures in the classroom to maximize student engagement; and engaging in inquiry into their practice. Candidates learn to build on the resources of individuals, families, and communities. They develop the empathy and vision to see their students for who they are, the skills to address student learning strengths, interests and needs, and the commitment to continue working for students when obstacles are inevitably encountered. Candidates are expected to demonstrate these proficiencies in their university assignments as well as in their work in the field. Required Coursework and Experiences STEPs university-based and field-based curriculum is deliberately designed to provide opportunities for candidates to recognize the value of diversity in teaching and learning. Rather than teaching about race or ethnicity in ways that stereotype individuals as representatives of groups, STEP courses include readings about language, culture and socio-economic background in the context of classrooms, schools and communities. Candidates complete assignments and engage in discussions that help them confront their own biases, acknowledge different perspectives, frame and reframe their understanding of diversity and equity. Several courses target topics related to diversity and equity, such as ED167: Educating for Equity and Democracy, ED284: Teaching and Learning in Heterogeneous Classrooms, ED388A: Language Policies and Practices, ED285X: Supporting Students with Special Needs, and ED246: Secondary Teaching Seminar and Elementary Teaching Seminar. STEP prioritizes placing candidates in schools and classrooms that reflect Californias diversity. In their clinical placements, candidates get to know their students through close interactions: observing, interviewing, instructing, and assessing work to understand students lives and learning. Clinical placements enable candidates to work with expert practitioners who are knowledgeable, skillful, and committed to the academic success of all their students. Increasingly, faculty at placement schools have been working explicitly on an equity agenda through efforts to detrack classes and maintain an academically and intellectually challenging curriculum for all students. Assessments of Candidates Proficiencies Related to Diversity STEP draws on many assessments outlined in Standard 2 to evaluate candidates proficiencies related to diversity in each part of the teaching and learning cycle: planning, instruction, assessment, and reflection. These aspects of the teaching and learning cycle are evaluated in part on their attention to issues of equity, including: (1) To what extent do lesson plans and units provide all students with access to challenging content? (2) What do candidates interactions with their students demonstrate about their ability to facilitate equitable participation of all students in the classroom? (3) How do candidates use formative and summative assessments to provide opportunities for all students to show what they have learned, and to what extent do candidates use this information to inform their subsequent planning? and (4) What do candidates written reflections reveal about their inquiry into and consideration of issues of diversity and equity? As noted in Standard 2, the summative assessment of these proficiencies is the PACT Teaching Event included in the graduation portfolio. For the past three years, all candidates successfully completed PACT and fulfilled graduation requirements. The following excerpts from candidates Summary Reflections (submitted in the graduation portfolio) are indicative of how many describe what they have learned. I also have thoroughly enjoyed learning about and implementing a wide variety of teaching strategies, and I have learned how it is important to invest thought and time into planning learning activities that make the content accessible without watering it down. The clearest example of this was a lesson and group project I designed on satire, informed by C&I, Heterogeneous Classrooms, and my conversations with (my supervisor) and (my cooperating teacher), that allowed me to organize the subject matter in a way that seamlessly moved students from one level of understanding to the next until they were able to independently analyze satire in the core text. While others questioned whether that was even an appropriate lesson to teach to mere freshmen, I knew that with proper scaffolding and enough student interest I would be able to support their emerging understanding about such a complex topic. (Stacy, Class of 2007) I take pride in the fact that I know a lot of my students very well, including facts about their home life and interests inside and outside of school, and I have a good relationship with my class as a whole. Knowing my students well has allowed me to relate the material to their interests whenever possible. (Jen, Class of 2007) 4(b) Experiences working with diverse faculty Diversity of Faculty Half of the university faculty who work with STEP candidates are persons of color. (See Table 4.1.) STEP faculty are well known for their contributions to the scholarship on issues of diversity and equity in education. Candidates seek out STEP specifically because of the facultys reputation for commitment to equity as evident in their published work, presentations, and activities at the local, state, and national levels. A detailed description of the facultys accomplishments can be found in Standard 5. Table 4.1 Faculty Demographics Prof. Ed.

When selecting clinical faculty, the program places high priority on identifying practitioners with a documented record of success with diverse learners. STEPs university faculty devote much of their professional service to working with teachers and students in diverse schools. (See Standard 5 for more detail.) Recruitment and Retention of Diverse Faculty University and thus the University School of Education are equal opportunity employers. Search committees actively recruit applicants of color to positions in SUSE. University has launched a five-year effort to appoint the best young scholars in the nation whose research focuses on the study of ethnicity and race. The endeavor, known as the Faculty Development Initiative, involves marshaling new university resources and leadership to recruit and hire rising stars in the humanities and social sciences. It directly follows Provost John Etchemendy's commitment last spring to create 10 incremental faculty positions in the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE), which now consists of more than 100 affiliated faculty members from 15 departments and five schools. This initiative aims to extend the range of fields of study at the university, as well as the race, gender and sexual orientation of the faculty. (See  HYPERLINK "http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2008/january9/fdi-010908.html" http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2008/january9/fdi-010908.html.) 4(c) Experiences working with diverse candidates Diversity of Candidates Table 4.3 below shows the demographics of the current STEP cohort. STEP intentionally recruits candidates from different backgrounds so that the STEP cohort reflects greater diversity than the present California teaching workforce. This diversity creates opportunities for candidates to learn from each others experiences and identities, including those related to race and ethnicity, socioeconomic class, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. In addition, each cohort includes several career changers who plan to enter teaching after experience in a variety of professions, including law, medicine, and engineering. Several STEP courses explicitly foster discussions of identity, diversity, and equity. Candidates report that these conversations with STEP colleagues enrich their understanding of diversity and better prepare them to work with students from diverse backgrounds.

Each year representatives from STEP participate in the Institute for the Recruitment of Teachers, which identifies undergraduates of color who show high academic promise and who have expressed an interest in teaching. As noted in Standard 1, in recent years University and SUSE have garnered substantial new funding for fellowships that support STEP candidates. STEP employs a part-time outreach coordinator who organizes recruitment efforts and meets personally with interested candidates. 4(d) Experiences working with diverse students in P-12 schools Diversity of P-12 Students in Clinical Settings As Table 4.4 below shows, candidates have opportunities to work with P-12 students from many different backgrounds. Even in schools whose student population is less diverse overall, candidates work in detracked classrooms or in special programs designed to support previously underachieving students (e.g., AVID, ELD classes, etc.).

This program includes significant numbers of English language learners. The majority of students at the middle school were English Learners: 35% were designated as Limited English Proficient (LEP), 17% were Redesignated as Limited English Proficient (R-LEP), and 6% were designated as Fully English Proficient (FEP). The remaining 42% of the students were reported as coming from English speaking households. At the K-8 summer school, 58% of the students were English Learners, among them 25% were LEP and 17% were R-LEP. (See  HYPERLINK "SupportingDocuments/ELL_Data_Summer2007.doc" ELL Data Summer 2007.) All STEP candidates have opportunities to interact with students with exceptionalities as evidenced by their final assignment for ED285X: Supporting Students with Special Needs. Programmatic Strengths As noted above, STEP intentionally recruits a diverse pool of candidates because interacting with colleagues who have different experiences enriches candidates intellectual and professional development. The program is infused with an ethos of equity and an attention to diversity. Current Research As noted in Standard 1, STEP engages in ongoing research regarding candidates preparation to work with English learners. In addition, a current doctoral dissertation study examines the relationship between candidates backgrounds and their preferences for working with English learners.
