Professionalism

Students will demonstrate behaviors that maintain academic, professional and ethical standards and avoid behaviors that are detrimental to either the pre-service student or the classroom students. Professional behavior is expected inside and outside the University classroom, when using email and in all field placement experiences. The following may constitute a basis for denial of admission to a practicum placement or student teaching, removal from a teacher education program or a remediation process prior to continuing the program:

  • Conduct unbecoming a professional educator
  • Conviction on a felony charge
  • Any other behavior that interferes with professionalism
