School of Education

Mission

Through a professional education sequence that emphasizes instructional strategies, including technology, that are effective and relevant to teaching and learning in today’s schools, Franklin Pierce seeks to prepare educators who:

• work collaboratively within professional communities to support inclusive learning environments where all learners thrive;
• continually deepen their own understanding of specific disciplines and high impact pedagogical practices, including the integration of technology;
• support student learning by using multiple methods of assessment to guide instruction and facilitate meaningful learning based on a continual cycle of evidence- based assessment; and
• demonstrate ethical responsibility to children, parents, local, national, and global communities in their professional lives as leaders of conscience.
