Becoming teachers who teach boldly in a changing world through an ethic of care and critical reflection.

The Conceptual Framework articulates a shared vision for Eastern Mennonite University’s Teacher Education Program in its efforts to prepare educators for P-12 classrooms. The Conceptual Framework, in alignment with state, national, and specialized professional association standards, provides direction for Teacher Education’s programs, courses, teaching, candidate performance, scholarship, service, and educator preparation provider accountability. Included in the Conceptual Framework is an articulation of the Teacher Education Program’s particular perspective, which will characterize EMU’s teacher pre-service and Graduate Teacher Education graduates.
