Professional Qualities Assessment (revised Fall 2017)

Students at The College of Saint Rose who are candidates to become professional educators must demonstrate high standards in communication skills, in the ability to take responsibility and accept personal accountability, and in ethical thought and practice.  Faculty consider these professional qualities to be as important as academic performance since they are so clearly related to one's success as a professional. Development of acceptable levels of performance in each of the performance categories below is an expectation of all students prior to completion of  professional education programs.

Any candidates identified as demonstrating weakness in one or more of the areas will be asked to meet with faculty from their program area and to develop a plan to improve performance. Satisfactory professional performance is required to be in good standing and receive certification or award of a degree in education.
