San Jose State College of Education Mission
 
The faculty of the College of Education at San Jose State University agrees that excellence and equity matter; that each is necessary, and neither is sufficient in the absence of the other. 
 
The mission of the College is to prepare educators who have the knowledge, skills and dispositions that ensure equity and excellence for all students in a culturally diverse, technologically complex, global community. 
 
In the college, we believe that a democracy requires that all students have access to a high quality education based on fairness and respect for all forms of diversity.  In addition, we believe that educators at every level must  
1.   Have knowledge of their subject matter and their students;
2.   Must value and engage in ethical practice and justifiable pedagogy;
3.   Develop dispositions and habits of mind that aim to ensure that all students have equitable access to educational opportunities that enable them to develop their talents, abilities and potentialities;
4.   Demonstrate an understanding of the professional obligations of an educator.
Finally, a democracy requires that all stakeholders be fully involved in the collegial community.  We envision ourselves as a learning community of practitioner/scholars in continuous dialogue and inquiry that enable us to revisit, review, and revise our practice in an ongoing response to twenty-first century issues and circumstances.
