Our conceptual framework is devoted to helping students develop a strong fund of knowledge. Among the attributes we aim to develop in future leaders are those of being reflective, possessing a love of learning, and valuing democracy and diversity. We believe educational leadership is, at heart, a moral craft, and we are committed to helping prepare effective practitioners of that craft. Build upon the core AND on the knowledge from your major. Connect ideas, fields, and experiences .
Capstones are integrative, broadly focused, often interdisciplinary and cross-cultural.
Focus on ethical issues and problems affecting the community, world and environment. Encourage critical thinking , going beyond the traditional and orthodox, challenging students to examine established assumptions. Emphasize writing as a way of exploring issues and communicating findings. This course will focus on the major issues facing education in today's world. Guest presenters on crucial issues will also be the focus for discussion.
