Inclusive Excellence Statement Prompt

All College of Education students leave with a perspective that recognizes, acknowledges, and respects the knowledge and strengths all students bring from their communities. This perspective is known as Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Education (JEIE) and is evident in all our programs. College of Education students use this perspective to make community‑based assets an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development. In this way, our graduates learn to value and draw upon students’ backgrounds not only to support them in developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but also as a mechanism to transform our communities. We believe that all faculty and staff who work for the college must share these same commitments.

In your statement, focus on your commitment to just, equitable, and inclusive education. Include how you incorporate issues of JEIE into your teaching materials and methods or research, personal experiences, credentials, and contributions related to IEJE. Strong statements will reflect intersectionality of JEIE elements.
