Mission

The mission of the University of Massachusetts Global's School of Education is to develop innovative and caring leaders, scholars, and practitioners who collaborate to solve complex problems, transform organizations, and educate diverse student populations through discovery, inspiration, and innovation.

Mission on Inclusion

Through inclusive curriculum, the SOE will ensure that our graduates are prepared for meeting the needs of all learners for full participation in a diverse and integrated society. This would include but is not limited to meeting the needs of students with disabilities, gifted learners, second language learners, and students from other underrepresented populations.

The University of Massachusetts Global's School of Education is committed to creating an environment where all people feel supported, listened to, and able to reach their highest potential. In order to provide equity, access, and participation for all learners, students are provided supports and an inclusive curriculum that allows them to become an agent of change within their diverse local, state, national, and global communities.

Professional Dispositions

The School of Education has adopted a set of professional behaviors or dispositions and candidates are expected to demonstrate these dispositions throughout all education programs. Dispositions are evaluated by course instructors at different points in the program and candidates do a self-assessment at the beginning and end of the program. The Professional Dispositions are provided to all education students at their initial advising session and can also be found on the University Student Code of Conduct section and on the School of Education Student Services page.  

Minimum Grade Requirement

All graduate courses within the School of Education must be passed with a grade equivalent of “B-“ or higher. A grade of “C+” or lower is considered unacceptable and the course must be repeated.  A cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for graduation and recommendation for a credential.  Prerequisite courses require a minimum grade of “C” (2.0).

Exit Survey

All Education Programs require candidates to complete an exit survey at the end of their program. Some exit surveys are done through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) and exit survey results are used to evaluate program effectiveness and for program improvement.
