Our Mission
The Office of Field Experiences supports the mission of the School of Education and Professional Studies in the preparation of professionals for the early childhood, elementary, secondary, special education, and K-12 settings. In order to accomplish this mission, the Office must work collaboratively with CCSU faculty/departments to ensure that Teacher Candidates are prepared to:
- Serve in the region, the state, and the nation
- Apply principles of learning and assessment through a variety of technologies to guide our own best practice and that of practitioner in the professions
- Develop knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for professional practice and community service through learning experiences that are rich in diversity of perspectives, values, attitudes, and beliefs and that are enhanced by active reflection.
In addition, guided by the purpose of preparing leaders for service in diverse communities the OFE must work closely with state-wide school districts as well as the State Department of Education to secure appropriate placements for Teacher Candidates to put theory into practice in a classroom setting.
