MBU SOE ensures candidates are able to apply their knowledge of content.  Evidence provided demonstrates candidates know central concepts of their content area (InTASC Standard 4) and are able to apply the content in developing equitable and inclusive learning experiences (InTASC Standard 5) for diverse P-12 students.

Data is analyzed from the STMFA (A1, A2, A3, E2, E3, E4, E7) 

Efforts are made to place candidates in schools with student populations that represent the nation's diversity.

Diversity in field placements is essential for addressing InTASC standards 4 and 5 by providing opportunities for pre-service teachers to develop and apply content knowledge, as well as plan and implement instruction that is responsive to the needs of diverse learners. 

Exposure to diverse educational settings prepares educators to effectively teach a wide range of content areas and adapt their instructional practices to promote equitable learning outcomes for all students by differentiating instruction, modifying curriculum, and providing appropriate supports to ensure that all students have access to high-quality learning experiences.
