GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
The Graduate Education Program of Asbury College is committed to preparing leaders for the schools of today and tomorrow. To accomplish this end, the Graduate Education Program creates a community and learning environment conducive to individual professional growth while embracing an ever-widening educational partnership with schools both local and worldwide. In keeping with the institutional commitment to evangelical Christianity in the Wesleyan-holiness tradition, a basic tenet of this program is the cherished preservation of our moral and ethical roots of educational inquiry and thought, content-specific and pedagogical knowledge, professional competence, and Christian caring with an intentional focus on preparation for educational leadership. Reflecting the institution's commitment to develop the professional, the graduate instruction targets individual areas of anticipated development and provides models for professional growth and leadership to accommodate specific educational paradigms. Within a framework of moral stewardship and through diverse and exemplary models of teaching, the Graduate Education Program strives to enable its students to become leaders and facilitators of educational community.
Recognizing the influence of our Wesleyan holiness roots and the need for professionals with strong moral and ethical character, we endeavor to prepare individuals who are committed to a lifetime of learning and will model servant leadership in support of the profession, society, family and the Church.
This commitment is embraced in the graduate program model Facilitators of Student Success and Professional Community which seeks to prepare graduate students in response to the Kentucky Experienced Teacher Standards who will be able to:
