Professional competence is enhanced and facilitated through direct contact with children in diverse settings where behavior and learning processes are observed and directed. Opportunity is provided for student options and decision making based upon individual needs, abilities, and interests. The curriculum provides an adequate background for students who wish to pursue graduate study in elementary education. The mission of the College of Education is to offer exemplary professional programs to prepare educators to be effective decision makers who facilitate student learning. The programs in Elementary Education emphasize the contextual basis for learning, particularly within the ever-expanding global community that includes many diverse kinds of learners and educators.
All programs focus, at least in part, on the constructivist nature of the teaching-learning process.
