Dear MSU Teacher Education Graduate,
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and/or completion of
the Teacher Education program! To provide support for you in your
first years of teaching, we are inviting you to join our school
university partnership, the Montclair State University Network for
Educational Renewal (MSUNER), as a MSUNER Associate.
MSU graduates who apply to become MSUNER Associates will have the
opportunity to attend various professional development activities
offered throughout the school year including the Summer Conference
held every June. As you progress in your teaching career, you will
have the opportunity to expand your teaching and leadership roles
within the MSUNER to become a Clinical Faculty member with
privileges such as being a cooperating teacher or on-site education
mentor for student teachers, co-teaching student teaching seminars
on campus or on-site, and teaching in the MSUNER professional
development series.
The overarching themes of the teacher education program at MSU are
embedded in the Agenda for Education in a Democracy, and include
the enculturation of students into a political and social
democracy, providing access to knowledge for all students,
practicing pedagogical nurturing, and taking responsibility for
stewardship of best practice in schools.
As a MSUNER Associate, you will receive support to bring the four
dimensions of teaching into your classroom. So if you are an
educator who practices teaching for critical thinking, sees
yourself as a lifelong learner, and recognizes the moral dimensions
of teaching then make the move and apply to become a MSUNER
Associate.
