JEIE STATEMENT PROMPT

 

All College of Education students leave with a perspective that recognizes, acknowledges, and respects the knowledge and strengths all students bring from their communities. This perspective is known as Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Education (JEIE) and is evident in all our programs. College of Education students use this perspective to make community-based assets an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development. In this way, our graduates learn to value and draw upon students' backgrounds not only to support them in developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but also as a mechanism to transform our communities. We believe that all faculty and staff who work for the college must share these same commitments.

The statement should focus on your commitment to just, equitable, and inclusive education. This statement can take several different forms and may address:

• Your contribution to issues of JEIE
• How you incorporate issues of JEIE into your teaching materials and methods or in your research
• How you have personally experienced issues regarding JEIE
• Your experiences and/or qualifications that enhance your ability to work with diverse groups

The prompt will be evaluated for what it tells us about your knowledge, application, experience and expertise as it relates to JEIE. The strongest statements will include attention to the intersectionality of JEIE elements.
