• Graduates modify learning environments and adapt instructional strategies to accommodate a variety of student learning styles
• Graduates motivate all students to engage in active learning, positive social interaction and collaboration
• Graduates foster relationships with school colleagues, parents, and community-based agencies to advocate and support students learning and well-being
• Graduates are ethical and reflective practitioners who continually evaluate the effects of their choices and actions on others
• Graduates are lifelong learners who actively pursue opportunities for professional growth
