School Board of Clay County
June 6, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting
Title
C10 - Affiliation Agreement between Clay County District Schools and Western Governors University (WGU)
Description

This agreement is between Clay County District Schools and Western Governors University for WGU students to participate in field and clinical experiences under the direction of a qualified mentor educator in Clay County schools.

Gap Analysis

Without this agreement, interns from Western Governors University cannot be placed in Clay County District Schools and would thereby prevent potential teacher candidates from choosing Clay to begin their career.

Previous Outcomes

Clay County District Schools currently has active agreements with 29 Colleges/Universities, and does not have a current agreement with WGU.  This agreement would allow teacher candidates from WGU to be placed in Clay. 

Expected Outcomes

Placement of teacher candidates provides real-world experiences to better prepare them for the rigors of teaching in the Prek-12 educational setting.  WGU is currently requesting the placement of 1 student, and this agreement will allow for future interns to be placed over the duration of the contract period.

Strategic Plan Goal

Goal 2: Talent Recruitment, Development, and Retention

 

Strategy 1.1: Develop strategic partnerships with organizations and universities to source new talent for a diverse workforce that is effective and highly-qualified for non-instructional, instructional, and administrative positions throughout CCDS

Recommendation

That the Clay County School Board approve the agreement between Clay County District Schools and Western Governors University.
