Divisional Philosophy
North Carolina Wesleyan College has, from its
beginning, accepted the responsibility for educating
students who plan to enter the teaching profession. The College continues
that emphasis and the unit has formulated six goals for students majoring in
one of the areas of teacher education: Elementary Education, Middle Grades
Education, Special Education, or licensure in secondary education. The goals
are based on the role of the teacher as a reflective decision maker. The
goals are aligned with the INTASC standards which are used to assess
performance of students in teacher education.
A graduate of the teacher education program:
- Demonstrates an up-to-date body of professional knowledge and a
commitment to
continued professional development.
- Demonstrates appropriate oral and written communication skills for
interacting with
students, parents, and members of the professional
community.
- Demonstrates a philosophy of reflective practice which considers
both subject matter
and the developmental needs of learners.
- Utilizes skills of effective decision making as needed for
instructional planning,
classroom management, and implementing active
learning.
- Interacts effectively and in accordance with ethical codes in
carrying out responsibilities of the profession within the school
community.
- Demonstrates an awareness of diversity and provides instruction,
curriculum, and a
classroom environment supportive of diversity.
 The
teacher education program is accredited by the North Carolina Department of
Public Instruction and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher
Education.
