All GCE Programs

All programs in the Graduate College of Education strive to provide every graduate with the following outcomes:

• The knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to promote professional excellence, including an understanding of the theories that guide "best" practice in education;

• The understanding that culture and worldview define meaning in every aspect of individual and group life regardless of one's racial/ethnic background;
• The ability to engage in critical inquiry about all facets of their educational work and its contexts, and in the continuous effort to improve them;
• The ability to use knowledge, ideas, questions, and actions to make corrections, test theories, and create understanding, and
• The ability to recognize the instructional advantages of using new technologies and to assist K-12 students in assessing and evaluating the information obtained from these technologies.
