Fall 2008 Partnership Opening Event

The Department of Education houses the Dr. Mildred T. Headley Center for Professional Collaboration (CPC). The CPC is a multidimensional center that fosters individual development in PK-12 Partnerships, professional development, lifelong learning, multicultural education, and collaboration.

While pursuing a teacher licensure program of study and prior to clinical practice, candidates are required to provide evidence of participation in a minimum of eight professional development activities, to provide evidence of participation in a minimum of two multicultural education experiences (at least two of three levels), complete field experiences and 16 weeks of clinical practice.

The teacher education candidate is introduced to the CPC in Module I at which time opportunities are extended by the CPC office that allows the candidate to complete several teacher education program requirements throughout Modules I, II, III, and IV.

The CPC is an integral component of the Teacher Education Program that enriches the candidates' acquisition of knowledge and skills by providing educational experiences that creates excitement and brings challenges to the candidate while providing a foundation for current and innovative best teaching practices.
