Seidel School of Education Professional Dispositions
The Seidel School of Education strives to produce educators and leaders who exhibit positive professional dispositions. All students declared or currently in a Seidel program or course are held to the Seidel School Dispositional Expectations Policy (SSDEP). See the Seidel School Dispositions Syllabus Statement below.
Professional dispositions are the values, commitments, and professional ethics that influence behaviors toward students, families, colleagues, and communities and affect student learning, motivation, and development as well as the educator’s own professional growth. Dispositions are guided by beliefs and attitudes related to values such as caring, fairness, honesty, responsibility, and social justice. For example, they might include a belief that all students can learn, a vision of high and challenging standards, or a commitment to a safe and supportive learning environment. All SU teacher candidates complete a prior to acceptance in a Seidel program. Candidate dispositions may also be assessed by instructors during course work or by mentor teachers and university supervisors during a school placement. Candidate disposition assessments are governed by Seidel School Dispositional Expectations Policy.
