A Rigorous Conceptual Framework
The instructional methods in the Price School of Education are based on sound research. The PSOE teacher education conceptual framework establishes the shared vision in preparing educators to work in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 schools and provides direction for all programs, courses, teaching, teacher candidate performance, scholarship, service and unit accountability.
The conceptual framework is built upon three basic beliefs about teaching:
- Student differences are understood, appreciated and built upon through respectful, meaningful work in a collaborative, nurturing classroom environment;
- Student growth and success are developed through the process of ongoing assessment and adjusted instruction; and
- Teachers who are extremely knowledgeable about their subject matter, a variety of wise and flexible instructional practices and multiple options for student assessment are better equipped to adjust the essential curriculum content, their own instructional practices and student assessment options to address learner differences within their classroom.
The purpose of all PSOE teacher preparation programs is to prepare educators who can create a learning community of care and challenge. This purpose is realized through the DATA Instructional Model that describes different approaches for teaching and assessment. The PSOE conceptual framework represents a strong commitment to the preparation of effective teachers who adapt instruction to support students’ diverse learning needs and to maximize student learning.
