Students experience difficulty in courses for a variety of reasons.
The content knowledge, skills, and understandings needed for these areas form the heart of our programs. Common to all of these fields in the College of Education and Human Development as well as other colleges and programs at the University of Southern Maine is an emphasis on Connections and Partnerships, Reflection and Critical Inquiry, Diversity and Performance Assessment. Students and faculty examine the connections between theory and practice through on-going, reciprocal relationships with schools, agencies, and businesses. Students and faculty explore the impact of factors such as cultural background, age, exceptionality, gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity on human development and learning. Students demonstrate their content knowledge, skills, and understandings, particularly as they relate to course goals and program outcomes.
