dispositions that are necessary for principal candidates to become effective leaders of schools as
proposed by the ELCC standards, ISLLC standards, Pennsylvania Department of Education Leadership
Standards, and are related to The Three Principles of the Cal U Conceptual Framework.
California University of Pennsylvania
Conceptual Framework for Teacher
Education and Educational
At California University, our theme for our conceptual framework is
“Preparing Tomorrow’s Educational Leaders through Knowledge, Professional
Practices, and Professionalism.” The conceptual framework for California University
of Pennsylvania’s teacher education and educational specialist program is based upon
the three principles of Knowledge, Professional Practices, and Professionalism, which
First Approved by the Faculty of the College of Education and Human Services on February 18, 2004.
form our philosophical foundation. Three elements support each of the conceptual
framework principles, creating a strong base for our candidates to build the
knowledge, skills, and dispositions required of a 21st century educational leader and
teacher.
Conceptual Framework Principles
Principle #1: Knowledge
Content (1A)
Content is the significant information that establishes the foundation for each discipline.
Mastering content is challenging in an information age when knowledge grows and evolves
quickly.
Standards (1B)
Standards set the minimum requirements for achievement, thereby forming the building blocks
for education.
Technology (1C)
Technology refers to the integration of appropriate and meaningful technological devices to
enhance learning. Understanding and using technology is critical for our education candidates
and educational specialists.
Principle #2: Professional Practices
Child Development (2A)
Child development focuses on the physical, emotional, psychological, and educational growth
of children and adolescents.
Diversity (2B) must
Diversity is recognizing that all students come from unique backgrounds. California
University of Pennsylvania is committed to meeting the diverse learning and social needs of P12 students and of our own education candidates.
Design, Implement, & Assess (2C)
Sound learning begins with the ability to design, implement, and assess educational
experiences for students.
Principle #3: Professionalism
Professional Disposition (3A)
Professional disposition is the set of values, commitments, ethics, and attitudes that distinguish
our education candidates and educational specialists as professionals.
Leadership Development (3B)
Leadership development is the activity by which education candidates and educational
specialists guide students and constituents to achieve success.
Personal Learning (3C)
Personal learning refers to the commitment of lifelong intellectual, personal, and professional
growth.
