Candidate Proficiencies Aligned with the Expectations in Professional, State, and Institutional Standards
In all applicable instances, the EMU candidate proficiencies are aligned closely with the 1993 INTASC Standards and with the Entry Level Standards for Michigan Teachers (See previous section.) A summary of this alignment may be seen in Exhibit CF-26, the Matrix of Initial Program Outcomes and Standards. In a number of cases, advanced programs for teachers are aligned closely with the Standards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
In addition, candidate proficiencies are also aligned in all applicable cases with the expectations of NCATE's Specialized Professional Associations (SPA's), in all applicable cases with the subject-field requirements of the Michigan Department of Education, in all applicable cases with the objectives for the Michigan Tests for Teacher Certification, and with institutional requirements for majors and minors and for graduate programs.
