Programs of study in the COE are grounded in the Conceptual Framework of “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 professional praxis. These core components educate candidates to develop and maintain the dispositions of openness to cultural diversity; an attitude of responsibility in the service of students, community, and profession; and a 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 life-long learners.
