Learning Outcomes for all Education majors

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

Demonstrate an understanding of the 10 InTASC standards at the appropriate progression level(s)1 in the following categories: the learner and learning; content; instructional practice; and professional responsibility.
Use research and evidence to develop an understanding of the teaching profession and use both to measure their P-12 students’ progress and their own professional practice.’
Apply content and pedagogical knowledge as reflected in outcome assessments in response to standards of Specialized Professional Associations (SPA), the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), states, or other accrediting bodies (e.g., National Association of Schools of Music – NASM).
Demonstrate skills and commitment that afford all P-12 students access to rigorous college- and career-ready standards (e.g., Next Generation Science Standards, National Career Readiness Certificate, Common Core State Standards).
Model and apply technology standards as they design, implement and assess learning experiences to engage students and improve learning; and enrich professional practice.
