Appendix C: Report of the Millennium Commission - Core Principles
Our actions are guided by the collective principles at the core of our academic existence. We believe...
- Research should permeate and inform all levels of educational practice.
- Teaching is the focus of much of our scholarship. Therefore, priority should be devoted to pursuing excellence in our own teaching through rigorous peer review, public demonstration of effective teaching, and appropriate rewards and recognition.
- Our College should demonstrate an unwavering commitment to diversity, multiculturalism, and international education. Our College of Education, located within a major public state university, should continually examine, understand, and promote diversity of ideas and people as vital to an educated community
- Our College should work to promote greater access to quality education so that all members of society may become more effective citizens. We dedicate ourselves to the democratic purpose of education as a primary means for promoting the general welfare.
- Opportunities for collaborative ventures of outreach, service, and academic community learning expand the possibilities for improving education and lifelong learning. Partnerships with people, schools, community organizations, clinics, agencies, businesses and governments at state, national, and international levels should be integral to our research.
- Professional development, academic preparation, and lifelong learning opportunities should enhance professional practice of faculty, students, staff, and alumni.
- Increased collaboration within the College, with other colleges at The University of Georgia, and with other universities, is vital for the improvement of all academic programs. The College of Education should take a leadership role in the development of joint programs, innovative technologies and curricula, effective teaching methods, context-based learning strategies, and related joint research.
