program LOGO, MODEL, AND MOTTOThe education faculty believes it is important to be able to communicate the Conceptual Framework in simple and meaningful terms. Therefore, we have developed an analogy through which we introduce this concept to our students and our colleagues. The Model upon which our analogy is based is the Navajo (American Indian) Weaver.
We think of our Conceptual Framework as being the frame of the loom. Our education program is the framework within which your pre-professional development occurs. The warp of the loom, the strings through which the yarn is woven, is color coded to represent the different course segments in THE PROFESSION OF TEACHING. Each strand of the Conceptual Framework is represented by a distinctive color of yarn. Just as the yarn is woven into a specific design, we weave each of the 10 Strands into the course segments to develop for each individual student a tapestry of pre-professional preparation.
The image of the Navajo weaver led us to develop our Logo, the line drawing of a weaver, which also represents ED often used to communicate Education.
Our Motto, THINK * DO * BELIEVE represents the condensation of the thrust and direction of the 10 Strands of the Conceptual Framework. We want students who are knowledgeable thinkers, able to problem solve; students who are doers, able to put into action their educational philosophies into leadership roles; and student who are believers, in learners and in themselves and in their own abilities to bring about positive change.
Thus, our program structure and goals are communicated through our logo, our model, and our motto.
