Coherence
At
the initial level, the Unit'
conceptual framework, implemented through the Standards and
Benchmarks for Teacher Preparation ensures coherence
of curriculum, instruction, field experiences,
clinical practice and assessment across all
teacher preparation programs. It
includes the knowledge bases of general education,
professional education, and
pedagogical content. The knowledge bases are the foundation of all our
teacher preparation programs.
In
addition, The
Standards and Benchmarks for Teacher Preparation includes twenty-two
outcomes--specific knowledge, skills, and dispositions
required of all teacher education candidates. These outcomes are 1)
addressed in required courses and field experiences,
2) assessed with a combination of performance
assessments linked to specific courses, required
state assessments, and unit assessments, and
3) required of all teacher education candidates. The Matrix
of Program Outcomes and Standards provides
evidence of the coherence of the conceptual framework.
At
the advanced level, the Unit's
conceptual framework is articulated in the theme
statement, the four roles, and the shared outcomes. The knowledge bases
are the foundation of all advanced programs.
