Program Assessment: Illinois State Univer sity is committed to continuous assessment of

the General Education program in an effort to gain valuable information so that necessary
improvements can be made to the curriculum. As a part of the General Education assessment
process on our campus, students may be asked by a faculty member to submit anonymously a
copy of their work to be included in the General Education Institutional Artifact Portfolio
(IAP). Submitting an artifact of student work for the General Education IAP will in no way
affect a student’s final grade on the assignment. Faculty will grade the assignment independ-
ent of the General Education IAP system. Results from the General Education IAP process
are reported in aggregate to the Council on General Education for the primary purpose of
improving the General Education program. The artifacts provided for the General Education
IAP are in no way linked to individual students. For the purpose of General Education as-
sessment, the unit of analysis is the institution, not the individual student, faculty member, or
class.

The College of Education includes the Depart-

ments of Educational Administration and Foun-
dations and Special Education, the School of
Teaching and Learning, the Office of Clinical
Experiences and Certification Processes in the
Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center, and
the Laboratory Schools. A research and service
unit is also included in the College of Educa-
tion.
The mission of the College of Education is to
transform 21st century learning.
The preparation and continuing professional

development of educators is the core of this
mission. The guiding framework for teacher
education at Illinois State University,
“Realizing the Democratic Ideal,” captures
the values of education programs: “To teach
in a democracy is self-consciously to take up
the burden of improving the ethical and intel-
lectual quality of our societal dialogue by
including in it as many educated voices as
possible.” A comprehensive offering of de-
gree, licensure, and outreach programs operat-
ed year round at both undergraduate and grad-
uate levels constitutes the primary mechanism
through which the mission is fulfilled.
The College also fulfills its strategic mission

of influencing education by interacting direct-
ly with practitioners in the field in a variety of
partnerships in schools and other associations
and agencies. In addition, the College is an
active participant in discussions related to
educational policy development within na-
tional, state, and local arenas.
