Admission, Retention, and Exit

The overall framework of the graduate program in teacher education focuses on the development of teachers who are committed to their on-going professional growth and are aware of the challenges in our culturally diverse society. These teachers will apply and practice decision-making while engaging in scholarship, asserting leadership, and exercising reflective thinking to meet the needs of learning communities. The synthesis of scholarship, leadership, and reflective thinking will occur in the investigation of a subject in depth through research and the creation of a culminating product derived from that investigation.
