            2. ORGANIZATION STANDARDS/DISPOTITIONS
              1. Relationship of effective teaching to dispositions, “professional attitudes, values, and beliefs demonstrated through both verbal and non-verbal behaviors as educators interact with students, families, colleagues, and communities” (NCATE, 2008, pp. 89-90.)
                1. Unit faculty nurture dispositions in candidates through coursework, interactions, interviews, and evaluations.
              2. KNOWLEDGE BASES
                1. REFLECTIVE
                  1. involves many hours of research into best practice strategies, action research, and teachers modeling desired behavior in the classroom (Chant, Heafner & Bennett, 2004).
                  2. Constructivism
                    1. the learner constructs knowledge based upon personal experiences, beliefs, and pre-existing mental structures.
                    2. Quality Learning Experiences.
                      1. Only through quality learning experiences does the constructivist theory work.
                      2. CRITICAL THINKING
                        1. Not only must teachers think critically when they teach; they must also help their students to develop critical thinking skills.
                      3. KNOWLEDGE STRANDS
                        1. STRATEGIC
                          1. TEACHERS MUST BE ABLE TO THINK LONG TERM AND KNOW WHY THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING
