The Education Department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona is committed to the pursuit of excellence in education and to the search for new knowledge about the teaching and learning process. The university, through the Department of Education, accepts the responsibility for the preparation of future P-12 educators, and strives to provide equal educational opportunities for all qualified candidates who wish to become teachers, administrators, and educational leaders.

Vision

We will be the model for developing socially just educators who provide quality instruction, embrace local and global challenges, inspire innovation, and work collaboratively to improve school and community outcomes. 

Mission Statement

We empower transformative educators who advocate for justice and equity for all learners.

Core Values

• Equity, Racial, & Social Justice: 
  We believe in the anti-racist work of educators, to critically analyze systemic inequities within schools and communities, examining our own beliefs and biases. We boldly advocate for intentional pedagogies that include voices and lived experiences of those who have been historically disenfranchised. 

• Academic Excellence: 
  We promote academic excellence and intellectual curiosity through students’ critical engagement with an evidence-based culture and our faculty’s teaching, scholarship and service.

• Student Success: 
  We model student-centered pedagogy and services that engage, challenge and support students; build on community cultural wealth, students’ strengths and funds of knowledge; and enhance personal well-being to ensure their professional success. 

• Experiential Learning: 
  We are committed to an integrative, polytechnic approach to equitable education through experiential, applied, collaborative learning, innovation and inquiry. We empower educational leaders to challenge the boundaries of knowledge by fostering reflective and critical thinking, creativity, informed risk-taking and continuous learning.

• Inclusiveness: 
  We believe that all means all students: Inclusive education is a social justice issue. The diversity of our backgrounds, funds of knowledge, identities, cultures, languages, literacies and abilities is an asset that enhances our TK-12, university, and greater communities. 

• Social and Environmental Responsibility: 
  As global citizens, we engage with community partners and stakeholders fostering reciprocal relationships and collective action to advance social justice, ethical citizenship, and environmental sustainability for future generations.

Statement of Concern

The Education Department uses a Statement of Concern process to address significant issues related to student conduct, integrity, and/or persistent unsatisfactory performance in courses and Clinical Practice that may prevent the student from successfully completing the credential program. The process includes

• A report to the Program Coordinator and Department Chair indicating issue(s) of concern that may prevent the candidate from successfully completing the credential program.
• A meeting with the student, faculty/staff that initiated the report, the Program Coordinator and/or Department Chair and/or referral to the Office of Student Conduct and Integrity, if appropriate. The meeting is an opportunity for the student to explain what happened from the student’s perspective.  The meeting is educational, not adversarial, and all parties are expected to be honest and forthcoming during the process
• A decision to dismiss the report or issue a Statement of Concern.

Performance issues in courses are handled by the instructor of record for the course in consultation with the Program Coordinator and/or Department Chair.  Significant performance concerns in Clinical Practice are handled by the University Supervisor, the Program Coordinator, and/or the Department Chair. Reasons for concern include, but are not limited to:

• Violations of the university Student Conduct Code
• Violations of university or department policies
• Violations of district or school policies
• Excessive absenteeism and/or tardiness
• Inability to appropriately relate to and work with students, families, peers, staff, faculty and/or administrators
• Inappropriate use of technology.

The Department Statement of Concern, written by the Program Coordinator, includes the following:

•  A description of the area(s) of concern that may prevent a candidate from advancing, successfully completing the credential program, and/ or being recommended for a credential.
• An action plan that provides guidelines for the candidate to address the identified area(s) of concern with deadline(s) for completion to remain in good standing
• Consequences and/or resulting consequences, if the action guidelines are not met.
• The signatures of the parties.

A copy of the Statement of Concern is placed in the student’s records file and the candidate may submit a rebuttal to the statement and/or appeal to the Education Department Appeals and Reinstatement Committee.

Any action plan deliverables are submitted to the Program Coordinator who, after consultation and careful consideration with the Department Chair, makes a determination of the student’s status and any consequences and/or follow-up, which may include removal from Clinical Practice or being exited from the program.  

• A student who receives a Statement of Concern at any point during the program will be on probationary standing until the term(s) of the action plan are resolved.
• A student who receives two Statements of Concern at any point during the program will be subject to removal from the program and will not be eligible to reapply for admission or be recommended for a credential.

Appeals

Students may appeal Statement of Concerns, withdrawal, removal from the program and/or recommendation decisions to the Education Department Appeals and Reinstatement Committee. The student must submit their appeal request with relevant verification and documentation to the Department Chair who forwards it to the Committee. A good faith effort to settle a dispute at the department level must be made before a formal grievance can be filed. Even after filing, efforts to resolve the dispute by informal means should continue. Please consult with the Department Chair as a first step in resolving any dispute. The next step is to appeal to the Office of Graduate Studies. 

Students removed from a course/Clinical Practice, may submit a grade appeal/grievance to the Office of Graduate Studies.

Withdraw

Students who are withdrawing from all classes in a semester should fill out a Leave of Absence form. This is a separate process, and the form is available from the Registrar’s Office. 

Interns who need to withdraw from Clinical Practice or apply for a leave of absence must terminate their employment with the hiring school district/charter. 

Advanced Credential and Added Authorization Programs

Advanced credentials and added authorizations require a basic or initial credential to supplement the basic knowledge, skills, and dispositions of a teacher.  No added authorizations or advanced programs stand alone as a teaching credential.

Master’s Programs

The university offers a Master of Arts in Education degree. Within that degree are multiple options to meet the needs of educators who seek to (1) develop into highly competent teacher leaders in an area of specialization, (2) become a school administrator with a focus on improving student learning, and/or (3) prepare to teach, research, and consult with business and industry.

Admission to the Program

Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and have a valid teaching credential or have been admitted to a credential program at this university.

International Students - Graduates of foreign universities are exempt from credential requirements as a prerequisite for pursuit of a graduate degree, however, they must show equivalent preparation and experiences. International students are required to take the TOEFL examination as a condition of admission.

Undergraduate Students - Candidates completing a baccalaureate degree from this university and planning to continue in graduate study must apply for admission to the Master of Arts in Education program during the final semester of the senior year to be considered for programs that do not require a teaching credential. Consult the Office of Admissions for application process.

Combined Credential/Master’s Students - Students in a credential program who have already been admitted to the university as a post-baccalaureate student, are eligible to take MA courses while earning a teaching credential. Students must obtain a Roadmap from the coordinator of the Master’s option. Once credential students reach clinical practice, they may file a petition to Change/Add Graduate Degree Objective to request admission into a master’s degree program in lieu of reapplying to the university. Candidates seeking admission to a graduate degree program by petition are subject to the same requirements as applicants applying directly for graduate admission.

Note(s): All M.A. candidates must complete a preliminary roadmap for a formal degree program in consultation with the Program Option Coordinator in the first semester of admission.

General Program Requirements

1. A minimum of 31-semester units of acceptable graduate level work must be completed in the program and must be at the 5000 to 6000 level (graduate).

6. A thesis, project, or comprehensive examination must be satisfactorily completed as a culminating requirement.
7. Candidates must abide by University policies regarding continuous enrollment and leave of absences.

Curriculum

The Master of Arts in Education is purposefully designed to be a flexible program requiring a minimum of 31 units, organized into the four elements:

1. Subplan/Option Required Core (12-18 units) - These courses are selected by the candidate and advisor to meet the candidate’s academic needs, based upon previous preparation and the requirements of employment. Courses selected are structured around the MA program subplan/options described below.

2. Subplan/Option Electives (up to 12 units) - These courses may come from approved upper- division and graduate from offerings in education or other appropriate disciplines to complement the rest of the student’s curriculum in consultation with the graduate coordinator and program advisor.

3. Research Methods (up to 6 units) - A series of research courses designed to prepare candidates for conducting research, developing projects, and applying research to the improvement of teaching and learning. Research methods courses are selected by candidates and advisors to best prepare candidates to successfully complete a culminating experience.

4. Culminating Experience (up to 6) - All master’s candidates must successfully complete a culminating experience to demonstrate competency in the chosen specialization at the expert level.

Each candidate works with the Program Option Coordinator in the first semester to develop a curriculum contract that meets the candidate’s professional goals. This contract constitutes the candidate’s curriculum to complete the degree. All contracts must be approved by the candidate’s program option coordinator, graduate coordinator, the department chair, the dean, and the university graduate studies analyst. A change to the contract requires filing an academic petition for approval.
