Discussion of Standard VI
This standard seeks to ensure
common general qualifications among candidates in masters and educational
specialist programs in Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, or
Educational Policy Studies to promote sufficient preparation to exercise the
interpretive, normative, and critical functions.
The primary professional focus
of the programs is to improve the general effectiveness of school
professionals, including teachers and administrators. The programs can also
prepare persons for a variety of roles in government, business, industry,
voluntary agencies, and the arts, and, of course, for more advanced study in
Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, or Educational Policy Studies.
