Commitment
to Diversity
The College of Education
has a long history of commitment to and leadership within the
community in the development of diversity initiatives. The College is committed
to a broad range of diversity projects and initiatives.
A
review of the Unit's
conceptual frameworks for both initial and advanced programs
reveals an integration of diversity related knowledge, skills,
and dispositions throughout the conceptual
framework. It is the goal of the Unit to integrate diversity content in
courses, provide opportunities for students to participate in
field experiences with diverse groups of students, and develop
programs and practices that
will nurture in candidates the knowledge, skills and actions
necessary to work effectively in a pluralistic society. To that end, the
conceptual frameworks address the following:
· (Standard
1) The need for candidates to be "caring and committed to all students' learning."
· (Standard
2) The need for candidates to be "knowledgeable regarding content
and pedagogy . . . to establish appropriate learning
goals . . . to create meaningful learning experiences" for all students.
· (Standard
3) The need for candidates to be "reflective
in practice . . . to consider students and community
when making educational decisions."
· (Standard
4) The need for candidates to "understand
the ethical dimensions of teaching in a culturally
diverse democratic society."
· (Standard
5) The need for candidates to "celebrate
diversity-- adapt instruction and assessments to meet
the diverse needs of learners; create opportunities for
students to value and respect diversity;
articulate an informed and thoughtful position on the
purpose of schools in a culturally diverse democratic
society."
The College of Education has
a long history of commitment and leadership within the community
in the development of
diversity initiatives, as applicable to the advanced
programs as to the initial programs. The College is committed to a broad
range of diversity projects and initiatives. Knowledge of diversity is
incorporated in the shared outcomes of the advanced programs
and within individual program
objectives. Each program incorporates study of
and commitment to diversity in its program and assessments. Links to specific
program information regarding diversity is found in Standard
4.
