All candidates enrolled in the Education program must demonstrate the professional dispositions expected of teacher candidates as outlined in the program’s dispositions rubric. Candidates’ dispositions are assessed upon program entrance and throughout the program during each course. If a disposition concern occurs outside of a course experience, the department chair may submit a disposition rubric to document the concern.
Honor code infractions are included in the disposition concern review process for graduate candidates. These infractions include cheating, plagiarism, stealing, lying, and double assignments (the use of one assignment to fulfill the requirements of more than one course).
