Conceptual Framework

Preparing scholars, lifelong learners, leaders, and reflective professionals
who are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence

The School of Education seeks to recruit and support the development of diverse candidates who are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence as scholars, lifelong learners, leaders and reflective professionals. The logo of the School of Education also incorporates the Cross from the shield of Saint Xavier University to acknowledge the Mission and Strategic Directions of the University and the Core Values from the founding Sisters of Mercy. Caring, capable and highly qualified faculty personify those attributes in the community of Saint Xavier University and in the profession of education, and direct the candidates’ progress in the acquisition of relevant knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
