Goals and Standards
The School of Education is a standards-based model of education. Student outcomes are the program's foundation upon which the curriculum, instruction, and assessment are aligned and implemented.
The school has adopted goals in four areas based on its mission to produce teachers of quality and distinction. Each goal has been articulated into a series of performance-based standards or outcomes that all students must achieve before completing the program.
Faculty have meticulously developed benchmarks, or more specific outcomes, for each standard throughout the program. They have also organized course requirements and assignments to ensure that students can meet these standards at a high level, demonstrating our commitment to student success.
The standards are aligned with the Educator Preparation Standards and other requirements of the Colorado Department of Education and the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Proficiency in all standards is required to successfully complete the approved program and recommendation for state licensure.
