The mission of the School of Education at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP is to prepare socially responsible critical thinkers who are collaborative and reflective educators committed to the moral endeavor of schooling in a democracy.<\/p>\n
The moral purposes of schooling, derived from the National Network for Educational Renewal<\/a>, provide the foundation for School of Education programs. We believe teachers have the responsibility to:<\/p>\n As learners in the School of Education, we seek out perspectives and skills that enhance our experience, understanding and appreciation of diversity in individuals, curricula, and practice.<\/p>\n The School of Education is committed to working with our school and community partners in the simultaneous renewal of schools and teacher education.<\/p>\n The Four Conceptual Strands<\/a> Outcomes – Initial Certification<\/a>\n
\nFour conceptual strands flow through all teacher education programs at Maryville.\u00a0 Arising from our mission and the research on the profession, these strands give structure to the reflective practitioner model we use: a developmental strand, a curriculum and instruction strand, a school and society strand, and finally, a research and inquiry strand.\u00a0 Click here for research references<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThese are the final outcomes for the preservice teachers of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP. They stem from the School of Education’s mission and the knowledge of the preparation of teachers, organized by the four conceptual strands.<\/p>\n
