Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Education is to develop - through research, service, and innovative teaching - reflective teachers and school leaders who are competent and caring lifelong learners.
In addition to the mission statement, the Department of Education has identified four guiding principles to clearly specify our goals for our students. These principles are:
• Rigorous of mind
• Compassionate of heart
• Competent demonstration
• Reflective stance
“Rigorous of mind" and "compassionate of heart" are overlapping principles we want to build in our students. Tasks may require primarily one principle-describing a theory in leadership-yet many times an overlap occurs when one applies knowledge to the school setting-how can a theory in leadership be used to benefit the school environment and impact student learning? Hence, as these two principles "rigorous of mind" and "compassionate of heart" are played out, the essence of both is our commitment to requiring "competent demonstration" from our students whether they are aspiring to be teachers or school leaders or are presently teachers or school leaders pursuing an advanced degree. The fourth principle, "reflective stance," encompasses the first three principles, since it is critical that our students are continuously reflective in all aspects of their work. These four principles work with our mission statement to define our commitment to our students.
Graduate Programs and Coursework
1. Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program (TCP)
Individuals who already hold the baccalaureate degree can complete the necessary professional education courses to be eligible for state certification in grades K-8, or secondary certification (grades 7-12) in selected subject areas or in Art Education Certification (grades K-12).
2, Master of Science in Education with a concentration in Teaching Methodologies
This program is open only to those students who have completed the graduate Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program (TCP). A core of 5 courses complement the TCP sequence of courses to finish the master’s degree.
3. Master of Science in Education with a concentration in General Studies
Experienced teachers may pursue a master of science in education through this distance learning program offering the opportunity to study, reflect and practice skills based on the most recent educational research and instructional techniques, K-12.
4. Master of Science in Education with a concentration in Literacy, K-6
This distance learning program is subject focused with an eighteen (18) credit concentration in literacy, K-6, presented through multiple learning modalities incluing videotaped presentations.
5. Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Educational Leadership
School professionals may take this on-line program to obtain a school administrator license or to pursue higher-education in their role as teacher leader.
6. Graduate Education Video Courses for Non-Degree Seeking Students
Educators who are seeking graduate credit for recertification and/or salary advancement can take advantage of these video-based individual courses. These courses have been reviewed and approved by the Department of Education for graduate credit, but the courses are independent of a program and do not lead to a graduate degree.
