1.1 Content, pedagogical, and/or professional knowledge relevant to the credential or degree for which they are prepared

All Northwest teacher, leader, and counselor candidates upon completion demonstrate relevant content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and professional knowledge relevant to the degree for which they have been prepared. Northwest programs emphasize a balance between deep content knowledge and broad pedagogical skills.

This section of the QAR is divided into four subsections: the first addresses the rigorous coursework required in content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and professional knowledge; the second overviews GPA and MoGEA and MoCA test requirements; the third analyzes data collected on the summative MEES assessment for Standard 1; and the last analyzes First-Year Teacher Survey (FYTS) results regarding content knowledge.
