Actions 

So, We...

Learners and Learning 
  • Treat all learners with respect and equity.
  • Offer rigorous, stimulating and interactive learning experiences. 

Modeling and Reflective Practice 
  • Exemplify current evidence-based practices and engage in reflective practice to hone our knowledge and skills to provide our pre-service teachers with the best educational experience, but also so they may experience an excellent instructional model to inform their future teaching.    

Learning by Doing 
  • Provide hands-on experiences with our prek-12 partners, so that our pre-service teachers have hundreds of instructional hours prior to graduation. 

Teacher-Scholar Model 
  • Engage in research to enhance our pedagogical and theoretical knowledge and instructional skills.
