This presentation reports on the collaborative efforts of Special Education faculty to review and revise program learning outcomes and engage in program-level assessment. Through a shared vision and coordinated process, faculty worked together to better align coursework across two licensure tracks and refine program learning outcomes to reflect Hawaiian and diversity values while meeting professional accreditation requirements. The process involved faculty dialogue, iterative feedback cycles, and curriculum-mapping efforts. This presentation highlights the steps taken, challenges encountered, and strategies implemented to facilitate meaningful program and curriculum revisions. By centering on the faculty collaboration that shaped these changes, this presentation offers insights and practical strategies for faculty and administrators seeking to engage in meaningful program revision and curriculum alignment in teacher education.
