| Learning Goals: |
We believe teachers must be scholars who value and engage in life-long learning.Reflective Practice.We understand the learning process as a fluid, complex, and dialogical process. Our educational philosophy then, stresses the value of learning through meaningful activity and reflection within a community of scholars/educators.Social Justice.We recognize learning as a sociocultural dynamic and therefore seek to frame our learning and service within the cultural, historical, and material contexts of the diverse populations of the New York metropolitan area. Educators must be aware of the ways schools may reproduce hierarchies based on race, class, gender, and sexuality. Awareness should lead to action as teachers embrace their roles as student advocates and active community members.Inclusive CommunityOur conception of learning as a sociocultural dynamic leads us to a philosophy that embraces community and collaboration. Democratic, collaborative learning communities that welcome diversity and honor the voices of all hold the most promise for individual as well as organizational progress..Wellness Our conception of learning is holistic. That is, we believe values and personal growth in the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual domains should be nurtured as well as skills and knowledge..Creativity and the Arts.In line with our emphasis on holistic education is our belief in the value of creative expression and artistic exploration to personal and professional growth. Creativity and vision are inherent in our conception of the good teacher. The creative process allows us to reflect on our world as well as envision ways of making it more humane, just, and beautiful.These goals are conceived and presented as broad ideals to strive for rather than as fixed destinations. We acknowledge that, whereas teacher candidates and clinical candidates may show variation in achieving these goals, the process of achievement is at the heart of their educational journey. These values and goals pertain to the liberal and professional education of teacher candidates and professional practitioners in allied fields. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
