There
are two sets of outcomes used for teacher education students. The
first set was established by the Missouri State Department of Education.
These 11
Quality Indicators(pdf file) explain what each teacher
education student should know and be able to do by the time s/he
is finished with a teacher education program and ready to embark
on a teaching career.
The second set of outcomes was established within the Avila University
Conceptual Framework. These
outcomes are personalized (pdf file) for Avila University's
teacher education programs. They are matched to the Missouri State
Department of Education's Missouri Quality Indicators.
Teachers need to be very well versed in the content that they teach.
The state of Missouri has adopted content competencies for each
subject. These competencies outline the knowledge of the field which
a well prepared instructor will possess as they begin teaching.
Grids showing the Avila coursework for each certification area and
the competencies for that area may be accessed below:
