CAEP Prep: ECU Conceptual Framework being Reviewed
The East Carolina University Conceptual Framework is a guiding document for the programs within the Educator Preparation Provider (EPP) unit at the institution. It applies to all programs which prepare candidate to work in PK-12 school settings and all faculty who contribute to those programs. The current ECU Conceptual Framework was approved by the Council for Teacher Education in 2005.
“Aligned with the mission statements of East Carolina University, the College of Education, and the Educator Preparation Provider unit, the conceptual framework represents the vision that drives the work of all administrators, faculty, and candidates. Through our commitment to excellence through partnership, our efforts to prepare reflective education professionals dedicated to democratic principles and practices, including the empowerment of all learners in all aspects of educational decision-making, define the core of this vision. The conceptual framework is responsive to the changing needs in education and allows for adjustments in the unit’s priorities without altering the entire framework. Current priorities include enhanced emphasis on the areas of diversity, assessment, technology, and research.”
In Spring 2014, the Council for Teacher Education took up a re-examination of the current Conceptual Framework. The timing of the re-examination coincided with the approval of the new ECU Mission Statement and led to the distribution of a survey to all EPP faculty as it considered the future of the current document.
in December 2014, the Council for Teacher Education decided to form an Ad hoc Committee to address potential revisions to the ECU Conceptual Framework to make it more reflective of the EPP’s evolving role as a national leader in clinical practice, service, and other areas discussed by CTE representatives. The Ad hoc Committee will commence its work in January 2014.
