Guiding Statement

 

The Department of Teaching and Learning Community is committed to preparing skilled, knowledgeable, and reflective educational professionals who value the search for truth and freedom of thought and expression. We also strive to create diverse and inclusive spaces, and act ethically in all our endeavors. 

As professionals, educators, and lifelong learners, these values are inherent in our teaching, research, and service in the following ways:

  • Building trusting relationships with students, communities, and constituents with whom we collaborate and serve.
  • Developing and teaching courses that include effective and innovative practices reflecting changes in our respective disciplines. 
  • Providing professional development to current and future practitioners working in varied learning environments. 
  • Engaging the broader field of education across a variety of learning environments and professional contexts.
