What is the Conceptual Framework (CF)?
The Conceptual Framework (an overview is located on the back of this sheet) establishes the shared vision for a units efforts in preparing educators to work effectively in P-12 schools. It provides direction for programs, courses, teaching, candidate performance, scholarship, service, and unit accountability. The purpose of the CF is to inform the process by which the unit develops its goals, to articulate the goals of the unit, and to ensure that the goals encourage professionally sound commitments and dispositions.
