Vision: The Delta State University College of Education promotes a vibrant educational community committed to preparing capable and confident
candidates who can positively affect learning outcomes of students in the P-12 school setting. Appropriately illustrated by the Delta triangle, the model reflects
candidate development through the triad of preparation, performance and professionalism, supported by the greater Delta educational community (faculty, educational partners, and alumni).Guiding Principles:1. Education is a lifelong endeavor, requiring an ever-expanding
content knowledge base, a repertoire of skills, and a broad experiencebase. (GP1)
2. Education is interactive and reflective, a process that is accomplishedthrough assessment and reflection of a collaborative nature. (GP2)
3. Education is culturally contextualized, requiring both anunderstandingand appreciation of the diversity of all individuals within the learning community. (GP3)
4. Education is dynamic, with change being driven by assessment data and the needs of all segments of the educational community. (GP4)
5. Education is enhanced by technology, infused throughout programs and services. (GP5)
