Cohort Group Model
You will enter as a member of a group
and progress together through the program. This provides a structure for
ongoing support and unique exchange of the learning experience.
Integrated Curriculum
Consistent with the best practices in
education, you will learn through classes conducted in a seminar
format and with course work organized in modules. Courses integrate varied
learning styles and multiple intelligences.
Computer Technology Oriented to the Educator
You will use internet technologies to
learn, teach, and facilitate networking and communication with your cohort
members and your faculty.
Experienced Faculty
Faculty members have extensive experience
in K-12 classroom teaching and higher education. These experiences make
the faculty uniquely qualified to combine theory with the reality of practice
and provide you with a rich and highly applicable learning experience.
Student Centered, non-Graded Alternative
Evaluation
Your progress is evaluated based on
predetermined competencies that must be met in order to receive course
credit. In addition, you will produce portfolios that promote self-reflection
and serve as valuable ongoing resources as you enter the teaching profession.
Only evaluations equivalent to the traditional
letter grades of "A" or "B" will receive
credit for the course. Students who require letter grades
for tuition reimbursement or employer approval are asked
to complete a letter grade equivalency form available from
the program office.
