Building a reference list of written material,
Recording our discussions in the hope of contributing to the field,

The seminar ran through early May 2000 and we will be adding to, and changing, this site frequently throughout the seminar. In fact now that the seminar has been completed we are discovering other material that deserves posting, so we will continue to build the site. As stated above, our purpose in creating the site is to provide easy access for ourselves and for other interested individuals. We intend our material to be available to those who have an interest. We request academic honesty and courtesy, if you find something you want to use please provide proper citation.

"Teaching and Leading as an Art and a Science"
The School of Education agrees that the general outcome of the teacher education program must be teaching professionals that believe and implement teaching as a blend of “Art” and “Science” as represented by the Beauty and Mechanism of the Spellmann Clock Tower… Teaching as an art because teaching is a craft that must be learned and applied in an authentic environment. Teaching as a science because it must be influenced by research and best practice for optimal student learning to be achieved... The conceptual framework for Lindenwood University Teacher Preparation Program is driven by the Mission Statement of the University and the eleven Standards for Beginning Teachers in Missouri.
