How does such a school enhance UNIs teacher education program?
The R&D school will integrate applied research, develop best practices and demonstrate effective teaching. It is the optimal place for UNI teacher education students to develop the skills and dispositions they need, as well as an ideal setting for research conducted by College of Education (COE) faculty. Such a school is also ideal for developing innovative practices and resources in mentoring teacher education students, which can be disseminated to mentor teachers in other schools.
