The Mission of the Eugene T. Moore School of Education is to prepare caring and capable professionals through intellectually engaging experiences in theory, method, and research that connect them to the communities in which they live and serve.

Academic Integrity Policy
"As members of the Clemson University community, we have inherited Thomas Green Clemson’s vision of this institution as a ‘high seminary of learning.’ Fundamental to this vision is a mutual commitment to truthfulness, honor, and responsibility, without which we cannot earn the trust and respect of others. Furthermore, we recognize that academic dishonesty detracts from the value of a Clemson degree. Therefore, we shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any form." Please refer to the “Academic Integrity Policy” on the ETM School of Education Web Site.

If you have a documented disability that requires accommodation, you must notify the professor in writing during the first week of classes. "It is University policy to provide, on a flexible and individualized basis, reasonable accommodations to students who have disabilities. Students are encouraged to contact Student Disability Services to discuss their individual needs for accommodation."
Students at Clemson are expected to wait 15 minutes if an instructor is late.
Please Note: Products from your work in this class may be included as evidence in the School of Education Assessment System.
