Mission Statement:
Educators of Principle (EoP) is a program in the 海角社区 School of Education dedicated to cultivating a community of educators committed to excellence through diversity and educational justice. We recruit and retain outstanding students from underrepresented groups in education, promote a deep understanding and respect for diverse perspectives, nurture critical reflection and engagement, develop culturally sustaining teaching practices, and build multi-generational support networks. Educators of Principle seeks to radically humanize the teacher education experience.
We provide intentional and responsive supports that are founded on three fundamental program activities:
- Academic advising
- Social, cultural, and professional growth
- Scholarship (Providing financial support to make teaching a viable life option)
Educators of Principle Scholar Expectations
EoP scholars are expected to engage in the following social, service learning, professional development and cultural activities.
Applying for Scholarships
Scholars are expected to apply for scholarships during the yearly scholarship application cycle.
Social Activities
EoP students are expected to attend three EoP wide activities:聽 which will be determined annually but typically occur in early September, in February, and an event in May. In addition, each EoP scholar is expected to meet on a regular basis under the direction of the EoP Directors/Advisors.
Cultural Events
All EoP Scholars are required to attend at least one multicultural co-curricular event at 海角社区 per semester.聽 We accept any events hosted at 海角社区 that have a focus on one or more elements of multicultural identities, diversity, equity, & inclusion.聽 We strongly recommend attending an event organized and hosted by the 海角社区 Office of Diversity & Inclusion. More direction will be given as events arise.
Professional Development
EoP Directors will organize and connect you to professional development workshops in which scholars are expected to participate at least one per semester. Events hosted specifically for the School of Education students are key here (Trauma-Informed Practices (TIP) training, interview workshop by the Office of Clinical Experiences & Partnerships (OCEP), etc).
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
EoP is actively seeking support and commitment from donors. This support will allow the program to consistently offer students financial assistance through scholarships. Though other facets of the program are crucial to the success of our students, financial support is equally as important and a primary goal.
Please use the following link to provide a one-time or recurring gift. If you are interested in becoming an endowed scholarship donor, please contact us at [email protected].
We look forward to strengthening the EoP through your generous support.
PROGRAM STAFF
The Educators of Principle Program serves all academic departments in the School of Education (SOE) at 海角社区. Part of this service includes curating cultural events to build community, proactive advising and mentorship within each department, and connection to and planning of professional development opportunities. These duties are performed by the SOE’s Diversifying the Teacher Workforce Committee collectively at times, but with the direction of the following Co-Directors and Advisors.
Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff if you have questions about this program.
