Trinity Christian College's Education Program Goals and Expected Learning Outcomes (EPLOs)

The mission of the Education Unit at Trinity Christian College is to prepare teachers through critical thought in coursework and application in

field and clinical experiences to serve God, students, and the teaching profession in a spirit of excellence. To that end, and consistent with the

mission of the college, the unit has formulated a set of objectives termed “Education Program Learning Outcomes.” These learning outcomes

embody both the foundational knowledge and professional competencies necessary for teacher candidates to enter the profession prepared to

serve with humility and excellence.

Student-teacher interns who have completed Trinity’s teacher education program will be able . . .

1. To embody Christ-like servanthood

2. To cultivate relational peace, educational equity, and justice in diversity
