During the spring of 2007 all teacher education programs at North Carolina State University were reviewed by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). The purpose of this review was to insure that the graduates of the teacher education programs are of the highest quality, including those whom are working on advanced degrees. To help insure that our teacher education graduates possess the necessary skills and dispositions to be teachers, a conceptual framework is used by the faculty and departments to guide us in program development and instruction for prospective teachers. The conceptual framework used at NCSU is known as LEAD&SERVE. Please click on the logo above or this link to learn more about the conceptual framework that guides our action.

In every course that contributes to your development as a teacher (and we do realize that not everybody in this course is a teacher), selected examples of student work are collected. The examples are known as "Signature Artifacts." These artifacts provide evidence that you have mastered the content in the course. In this course, two signature artifacts may be collected. They are:
  • Term project/program plan
  • Interview with a 4-H member/agent/volunteer
