Standard 3: Quality Program Practices

The MAE is an effective program with numerous sources of evidence to support our claim that completers are well-prepared and that they succeed in the workplace. Our curricula aligns with Missouri state standards, as well as American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education’s (AACTE) Guiding Conceptual Model and the InTASC Standards, and includes robust clinical experiences with numerous K-12 partners. We work with our multiple stakeholders to ensure that our program meets the needs of the K-12 setting, examine our admission and monitoring practices of candidates, and continually work to improve the program and its components to ensure program completers are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be dynamic and successful educators.
