III. Professional Education Unit:
Links to Institutional Mission
At Morehead State University all units are expected
to align their programs with the vision, mission and goals of the institution.
The Professional Education Unit includes all programs that are designed
to prepare educators who are able to perform effectively in authentic
school based settings. The overarching mission then is to ensure graduate
proficiency demonstrating the essential knowledge, skill, and disposition
base set forth in the New or Experienced Teachers Standards, or the Guidance
Counselor Standards or the School Administrator Standards. The objectives
of the Unit are presented below.
Goal 1: Academic Excellence and Student Success:
- To deliver quality initial
teacher preparation programs
- To deliver high quality
advanced preparation programs: experienced teacher, school counselor,
and administrator programs.
- To implement initiatives
articulated in the Teacher Education Transformation Plan.
- To set high standards for
admission to and exit from all educator preparation programs.
- To infuse technology throughout
the curriculum in order to prepare students who are able to effectively
use technology as a tool for learning.
Goal 2: Excellence in Student Support
- To use communication technology
to enhance student advising and to extend access to education by increasing
the number of courses offered through distance learning, the virtual
university, and web enhanced instruction.
Goal 3: Enrollment Growth and Retention Gains
- To continue to recruit and
retain quality students who are representatives of a cultural minority
in order to fulfill institutional diversity goals.
Goal 4:
Effective Administration
- To continue to recruit,
retain, and reward qualified and diverse faculty.
- To support the establishment
of a University Center for Teaching and Learning.
- To strengthen faculty evaluation
by developing one plan to be applied to all faculty in the College of
Education.
- To encourage and reward
quality teaching, research and service.
Goal 5:
Enhanced Reputation and Productive Partnerships
- To extend the number of
collaborative efforts with public school systems, teachers, and students
throughout the region
- To systematically assess
students, faculty, and programs to ensure that quality is achieved and
maintained and to anticipate change when data reveals less than expected
results.
While the broadest goals of teacher education at Morehead State University
grow out of the university’s mission, specific standards of achievement
for the academic programs come from state and national accreditation
standards and these are reviewed on a regular basis. More specifically
all initial preparation programs are aligned with the New Teacher
Standards and the advanced educator preparation programs are aligned
with one of the following: the Experienced Teacher Standards, School
Counselor Standards, or the ISLLC School Administrator Standards.
The quality of all programs, faculty and candidates is assessed annually
and changes are made when results are less than expected. The ideological
framework that undergirds Professional Education Unit is presented
below.
