College of Education Conceptual Framework
College of Education Strategic Goals
In pursuit of the ideals of our mission, vision and core values, the College of Education (COE) develops a strategic plan every 5 years. Through a comprehensive planning process that involved faculty, staff, alumni, students and community representatives, beginning fall 2018, the College of Education will begin implementation of major initiatives related to the plan’s three major goals:
- Just, Equitable and Inclusive Education (JEIE)
- Technology
- Community Engagement
Just, Equitable and Inclusive Education
JUST EDUCATION
A commitment to meet the educational needs of all students in a fair, caring, respectful, non-discriminatory manner (NCATE, 2008). This includes recognizing and understanding the impact of one’s own privileges, biases, perspectives and beliefs on the interactions one has with students.
EQUITABLE EDUCATION
A process that goes beyond providing equal opportunities, seeking to guarantee access to resources and to the challenges and supports necessary for all students to attain high-quality outcomes, not predicted by race, ethnicity, SES, gender, family structure, first language, religion, sexual orientation, (im)migration status, or disability.
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
A perspective that acknowledges, recognizes, and respects the knowledge and strengths all students bring from their communities (e.g., cultural, ethnic, disability, and linguistic) and makes community-based knowledge an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development. In this way, we as educators learn to value and draw upon students’ backgrounds not only as a means to support them in developing tools to participate with success in the broader society but also as a mechanism to transform how we do our work.
