The Mission
of the Centre
There have been
different aims and activities undertaken by earlier directors of the
Centre. Upon appointment to the position as Director of the Centre,
Gaalen Erickson identified three broad purposes which he intended
to pursue:
to increase the Faculty's research and development activities in the
area of teacher education;
to develop programmatic research into specific areas of teacher education
so as to provide a general focus and purpose to the research interests
of individual faculty members, graduate students, and teachers/administrators
in field settings;
to provide a forum for faculty members, graduate students, and field
personnel to discuss research, issues, and policies in the field of
teacher education.
In a review of all of the Centres in the Faculty and other administrative
units in 1995, a Faculty committee (called the "4th Committee
on Reorganization") reaffirmed these aims of the Centre as they
described the mandate of CSTE as follows:
to increase the Faculty's research and development activities in the
area of teacher education; to develop programmatic research into specific
areas of teacher education that would provide some general focus and
purpose to the research interests of individual faculty members and
graduate students; and to provide a forum for Faculty members, graduate
students, and field personnel to discuss research, issues, and policies
in the area of teacher education.
These general aims, then, represent the most succinct statement of
the Mission of the Centre that still guides most of the activities
of the Centre personnel.
