Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

• Co-construct curriculum as a co-worker with learners and others (parents, families, colleagues and community members) to make sound decisions for learning and teaching experiences, as opposed to being passive receivers of prescribed curriculum.
• Synthesize conceptual understandings of children, theory, content, technology and socio-cultural contexts into meaningful activities and opportunities for learning with all students in pre-kindergarten to grade three.
• Engage in the habit of self-assessment in order to continually uncover unknown possibilities in children’s learning, classroom practice, educational theory and one’s own teaching identity in the local and global context.
• Become committed to the children and their learning, the families and the local community while having an awareness of the global context.
• Engage in continuous self-improvement and lifelong learning.
• Apply skills, knowledge and dispositions to challenge “questionable” policies that limit opportunities for all children.
• Utilize research and theory to develop varied and effective pedagogies and assessments that will positively impact all students’ learning (Learning and teaching is a transdisciplinary practice).
• Advocate as ethical leaders and moral agents striving for social justice.
• Acknowledge and practice multiple, multi-ethnic, multicultural, multiracial, multi-social, multi-economic and multilingual perspectives in a global society.
