Alternative Education Licensure Only (AELO – #952)
The mission of the Alternative Education Licensure Only (AELO) Program is to acknowledge the uniqueness in each child by providing candidates with the knowledge necessary to differentiate instruction and address the mismatch between the needs of children and the instruction and school services provided. The AELO Program believes the family, the community and the larger society is best served when each child’s potential within the parameters of the school system is naturally and affirmatively developed.
Program Learning Outcomes
After completion of this program, candidates will:
- Design instruction effectively using a variety of instructional strategies and adapting instruction to encourage the development of critical thinking, problem solving and performance skills of all students. The candidate continually assesses for student learning and reflects on the instruction to improve future teaching and learning experiences.
- Identify educational questions or problems, review the literature, plan a research strategy, collect and analyze data, take action based on results and share their findings.
- Demonstrate how he/she has engaged in collaboration with parents, family members, professional colleagues, and community members to promote effective teaching and student learning.
