Major initiatives and partnerships are a critical part of our work to support educator preparation throughout the CSU with strategic, accessible and actionable information. This is a selection of our major initiatives and strategic partnerships:
The CSU Center for Transformational Educator Preparation Programs (CTEPP)
The Center for Transformational Educator Preparation Programs (CTEPP) supports CSU campuses in context-specific efforts focused on recruiting, preparing, and retaining Black, Indigenous, and Teachers of Color to serve California’s diverse student population.
EdQ serves as the support Hub for CTEPP’s networked improvement community called the Transformation Lab.
EdPrep Data and Improvement Network
The EdPrep Data and Improvement Network (EDIN) is now in its third year of collaboration. The group includes 19 members from 15 different campuses and the Chancellor’s Office. It is open to all CSU educator preparation data professionals. The group meets monthly throughout the year to leverage tools and concepts that support using data for continuous improvement, share best practices for data collection, analysis and reporting, introduce and share tools and platforms for data management and visualization and influence and inform purchasing and policy related to data management tools and systems.

Ed Prep Recruitment Community of Practice
Launched in 2023-24, CSU Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs), in partnership with EdQ and the Educator Leadership Programs Division (ELP) of the Chancellor’s Office, designed a systemwide community of CSU educator preparation recruiters to collaboratively learn, act, and support each other to address the enrollment opportunities and challenges of our time. Hosted by EdQ and a planning committee of recruiters, the community provides a space to collaboratively and coherently advance EPP recruitment goals and priorities for the CSU. Members meet monthly via zoom.
EdQ DataView Dashboard Expansion Project
The EdQ Center is expanding the dashboards available to CSU teacher preparation programs. The dashboards provide all CSU campuses with access to high-priority data from the Chancellor’s Office and external partners, including:
- Enrollment and completion data
- Candidate demographics
- Employment and retention in the field
These dashboards were developed based on input gathered from CSU educator preparation leaders, faculty, and staff about their data needs. They reflect the guiding principles of the project 1) to increase access to important data; 2) to integrate previously siloed data sources to provide a more complete picture of the candidate experience; and 3) to create visualizations specifically designed to support program improvement work.
