Conceptual
Framework
All members of the Millersville University Professional Education Unit will create learning communities of
inquiry and action, focus on students, and demonstrate exemplary professional practices.
Learning
Communities of Inquiry and Action | We will engage in learning communities in which
reflection, collaboration, lifelong learning, and habits of mind are developed and nurtured. | Focus on Students | We will balance
knowledge and the principles and concepts delineated in professional and state standards with an appreciation of all students'
individuality, diversity, and cultures. | Exemplary Professional Practices | We will demonstrate
the knowledge, skills and dispositions of exemplary professionals. We will have strong competence in our content knowledge,
pedagogical content knowledge and skills as delineated in professional, state, and institutional standards. We will demonstrate
professional dispositions or standards of conduct, will be supportive of students, families, and the school and community
and will serve as catalysts for positive and responsible change. |
