SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Bachelor’s Degree Programs
Concordia’s School of Education (SOE) curriculum has been developed to be fully consistent
and in compliance with all standards and requirements established by the Michigan
State Department of Education, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE) and the professional organizations governing the content specialty
areas of majors and minors. Successful completion of the curriculum qualifies candidates for
the Bachelor of Arts Degree and teacher certification and, if desired, a Lutheran Teacher
Diploma. The School of Education offers two programs, elementary teacher education and
secondary teacher education. Each is described below.
School of Education Mission Statement
“Concordia’s School of Education prepares entry-level elementary and secondary teachers for
the church and community who are able to provide effective servant-leadership, prepared for
reflective practice, and committed to life-long learning and strengthening of practice.”
Conceptual Framework/Program Outcomes
The SOE has created and adopted a set of Program Outcomes, providing a description of
the knowledge, skills and dispositions candidates are expected to demonstrate in order to
receive the recommendation for a state teaching certificate. Each candidate’s progress
towards achieving these outcomes is assessed and documented throughout progression
through his/her program and is the primary basis for determining admission and continuance
in program, admission into the Directed Teaching experience, and program completion.
The ten Program Outcomes are:
SL1. Caring Relationships: Concordia’s graduates reflect a disposition of service as they nurture
caring and supportive relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
SL2. Each Child: Concordia’s graduates espouse each student as a unique child of God, full
of potential.
