“The conceptual framework of the School of Education incorporates a shared view—across all professional preparation programs—of the broad aims intended for our students. The faculty believes that a graduate of the School of Education is characterized by four essential elements that will best enable him or her to deliver services to children, schools, family and communities in a manner that will promote educationally and psychologically healthy environment in a pluralistic society. This framework also embodies the core elements of our programs, courses, teaching, student and faculty scholarship, and student performance. As an integrative whole, the framework is comprised of four main strands represented below, which the faculty believe constitute a highly qualified professional who will positively and productively contribute to the lives of students, families, colleagues, communities, and the profession.”
