Education Department mission

​
Saint Vincent College is an educational community rooted in the tradition of the Catholic faith, the heritage of Benedictine monasticism and the love of values inherent in the liberal approach to life and learning. Its mission is to provide quality undergraduate and graduate education for men and women to enable them to integrate their professional aims with the broader purposes of human life. The programs, activities and encounters that make up student life at Saint Vincent College encourage the intellectual gifts, professional aptitudes and personal aspirations of students to mature harmoniously. 


The Education Department​ derives its direction and vitality from the mission statement of the College. As the College seeks to integrate professional ethics and goals with the broader purposes of human life, so the Education Department seeks to focus its field and classroom experiences on the development of teachers who understand the integral relationship of parents, family, school, and community to the general development of children. We view the becoming a teacher as a developmental process. Consequently, the Department's certification programs, activities, and field experiences encourage theoretical studies of curricula and child/adolescent development; induction into the conventions and evidence-based practices of masterful teaching; the nurturing of personal aspirations to serve and care for children; and the personal maturation into socially, emotionally, and intellectually well-adjusted educators who will make positive contributions to the schools and communities in which they teach.   



Education Department Student Learning Objectives (SLO) 

  1. Graduate/ student-teacher candidates will achieve passing scores and successfully complete the teacher certification exams for each teaching area. 
  2. Graduate/ student-teacher candidates will demonstrate through knowledge of content and pedagogical skills in planning and preparation for teaching. 
  3. Graduate/ student-teacher candidates will establish and maintain a purposeful and equitable classroom environment for learning, in which pupils feel safe, valued, and respected, by instituting routines and setting clear expectations for pupil behavior. 
  4. Graduate/ student-teacher candidates, through knowledge of content, pedagogy, and skill in delivering and evaluating instruction, will effectively engage students in learning by using a variety of instructional strategies. 
  5. Graduate/ student-teacher candidates will demonstrate the desired qualities that characterize a professional person in aspects that occur in and beyond the classroom.
