Conceptual Framework
Programs of study in the College of Education are grounded in the Conceptual Framework, “Professional Educators as Reflective Decision Makers.” Candidates are prepared in the core knowledge and skills needed to become culturally responsive inquirers, acting as curriculum agents and engaging in a professional praxis. These core components are the basis of developing and maintaining the dispositions of openness to cultural diversity; responsibility in the service of students, community and the profession; and belief in the transformative potential of education.
The college’s core components and dispositions represent the university’s commitment to transforming the lives of students by working to ensure that all students become successful lifelong learners.
