JEIE STATEMENT PROMPT

All College of Education students leave with a perspective that recognizes, acknowledges, and respects the knowledge and strengths all students bring from their communities. This perspective is known as Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Education (JEIE) and is evident in all our programs. College of Education students use this perspective to make community-based assets an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development. In this way, our graduates learn to value and draw upon students' backgrounds not only to support them in developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but also as a mechanism to transform our communities. We believe that all faculty and staff who work for the college must share these same commitments.

The statement should focus on your commitment to just, equitable, and inclusive education. This statement can take several different forms and may address:

• Your contribution to issues of JEIE
• How you incorporate issues of JEIE into your teaching materials and methods or in your research
• How you have personally experienced issues regarding JEIE
• Your experiences and/or qualifications that enhance your ability to work with diverse groups

The prompt will be evaluated for what it tells us about your knowledge, application, experience and expertise as it relates to JEIE. The strongest statements will include attention to the intersectionality of JEIE elements.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE AND THE DEPARTMENT

The theme “Reach. Teach. Impact” is the foundation of the College of Education's conceptual framework for program-specific learning outcomes that guide the operation of all initial and advanced programs in the college. These outcomes provide benchmarks to ensure that our candidates exit their programs as just, equitable and inclusive educators and leaders who possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to:

REACH the intersecting social identities of all learners through the critical examination of implicit and explicit biases and privileges in order to provide fair, respectful, non-discriminatory, equitable, inclusive, and humanizing learning environments.

TEACH through an anti-racist lens using culturally and linguistically relevant strategies, including educational technologies and community engagement, to provide equitable opportunities and supports necessary for all learners to attain high-quality outcomes.

IMPACT schools and communities through a commitment to dismantling systems of oppression by supporting students, teachers, and leaders as citizens in a highly diverse, global, interconnected, and digital world.

The Department of Secondary Education

The Department of Secondary Education offers the Single-Subject Credential Program and Master's Program. These are interdisciplinary programs that connect the three main elements of teaching (subject matter competency, pedagogical competency, and field experiences) through collaboration among the Department of Secondary Education, university academic departments and programs, and local school districts. Our program recruits and supports teacher and teacher candidates in developing the dispositions, knowledge and skills needed to enable them to meet the needs of the diverse learners in California's schools.
