MAE program completers engage in coursework and clinical experiences that prepare them to work in diverse contexts. While some completers find employment worldwide, graduates are primarily employed in Missouri and numerous data sources point to successful performance in their respective schools. Program completers engage in professional practice in educational settings and demonstrate that they have the skills and abilities to do so in a variety of settings and community/cultural contexts. For example, candidates must have broad and general knowledge of the impact of culture and language on learning, yet they cannot, within the context of any given program, experience working with the entire diversity of student identities, or in all types of school environments. Candidate preparation includes first-hand professional experience accompanied by reflection that prepares candidates to engage effectively in different contexts they may encounter throughout their careers.
