1. Our Purpose
Hunter College Mission Statement
Hunter College is a comprehensive teaching, research
and service institution, long committed to excellence
and access in the education of undergraduate and
graduate students in the liberal arts and sciences, as
well as in several professional fields: education, health
sciences, nursing and social work. The goal of a
Hunter College education is to encourage the fullest
possible intellectual and personal growth in each student. While preparation for specific careers is an important objective of many programs, the fundamental
aim of the college experience as a whole is to develop
a student’s rational, critical and creative powers. It
includes a broadening and deepening of outlook: an
awareness of one’s own and other cultures as well as
of the enduring questions and answers concerning
being, purpose, and value that confront humanity. Finally, the educational experience at Hunter is intended to inspire a zest for learning as well as to bring the
recognition that learning is pleasurable and knowledge
is useful.
School of Education Mission Statement
The Hunter College School of Education is dedicated
to the preparation of deeply thoughtful, knowledgeable and highly effective teachers, administrators and
counselors. Our commitment is to educating future
professionals who will make a significant impact on
the academic achievement, as well as the intellectual,
social and emotional development of their students.
Accreditation
The Hunter College School of Education and its programs are recognized by three accrediting bodies.
It is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which is recognized by the
United States Department of Education as a professional accrediting body for teacher preparation and
other professional school personnel.
The Rehabilitation Counseling program is accredited
by the Counsel on Rehabilitation Education (CORE).
Information about the program's performance can be
found in the 2011-2012 Rehabilitation Counseling
Program Outcomes Report
The School Counseling program is accredited by the
Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related
Educational Programs (CACREP).
School of Education Vision Statement
We envision a School of Education in which candidates are immersed in research-based, clinically
grounded, culturally competent and technology-rich
programs. We are focused on enabling these candidates to achieve substantive learning gains for the students and schools they will serve.
As part of the School’s ongoing assessment activities
to maintain accreditation and to continue improving
our programs and services, the School of Education
defined a conceptual framework articulating the
School’s mission, defined program objectives and key
assessments; implemented a comprehensive survey
cycle; collects and monitors student data at point of
entry throughout program coursework, during clinical
experiences, at program completion, and one year
after graduation.
School of Education Goal
Our goal is to prepare candidates who will demonstrate, through their professional commitments and
practices, those multiple competencies that promote
effective learning.
Information about the assessment system and electronic data collection are archived and operated in
two web-based systems:
AIMS: Assessment Information Management System
EPASS: Education Performance and Assessment
Support System
6
Evidence–Based Practices
The School of Education grounds its course content in the best field-based research and practice. Faculty review findings from their respective disciplines to provide our candidates with
the strategies needed for effective instruction.
Our candidates master the theory and practice
of effective pedagogy in their subject areas, and
acquire the tools for reflection on and improvement of their professional work. They achieve a
solid foundation in the history, philosophy, psychology, sociology and methodology of education that enriches their teaching. Candidates gain
expertise in analyzing and using assessment of
student performance to guide their instruction
and create optimal learning environments for
students.
Conceptual Framework
Educating a Diverse Student Population
The School of Education provides its candidates with the critical skills and understanding
necessary to be responsive to the multiple
challenges of all learners: students with a wide
range of backgrounds, cultures, abilities and
prior knowledge. We teach candidates to create humane and ethical learning communities
in their classrooms and schools. They gain the
ability to collaborate successfully with parents,
families, community members, school faculty
and staff in order to provide this support.
Use of Technology to
Enhance Learning
The School of Education prepares candidates
with the practical and theoretical knowledge
of effective and judicious uses of technology in
a variety of school settings and for a broad
spectrum of learners.
Formative and summative assessments of our
candidates’ technology competencies are a
critical component of preparing them for tomorrow’s schools. We believe that appropriate uses of educational technology enhance
learning, assessment and communication.
Integrated Clinical Experiences
The School of Education ensures that its candidates understand and experience the
realities of school contexts. We establish strong connections with partnering schools
in New York City and surrounding areas. We provide extensive fieldwork with supportive supervision in these schools. Our candidates engage in carefully sequenced
and comprehensively assessed clinical experiences prior to their graduation.

dress in a professional manner when working in schools
or in other professional settings where you will be conducting your clinical experiences.
Professionalism at Hunter College
As part of students’ professional development, and in order to nurture a safe and supportive learning environment for professors, teacher candidates, and students
alike, all members of the Hunter College School of Education community are expected to adhere to the codes of
professionalism outlined below. As a student at Hunter
College, whether you are in class or at your fieldwork
experience, you are a representative of Hunter College,
and not an employee of the NYC Department of Education (DOE) or any other organization where you are
placed, and are expected to adhere to these codes.
Below, you will find the description of the various aspects
of professionalism that are expected of the School of Education’s students, both while at Hunter and as a guest in
a field site, during coursework and during your clinical
experience.
2. Professional Integrity
Hunter College School of Education students are expected to conduct themselves ethically and with integrity,
according to the expectations of the professions of teaching, administration, counseling and educational psychology. You shall interact with your peers, faculty, administrators, classroom teachers, and students, with respect and
fairness, as well as follow the rules of confidentiality for
your students and peers (see the Hunter College Disclosure Policy and the rights and protections of privacy afforded to Hunter students by FERPA, the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act). All work you complete shall
be your own, and you shall familiarize yourself with
Hunter College’s policy on Academic Integrity.
1. Professional Behavior
Interpersonal Relationships: As a member of the Hunter
College School of Education community, you shall be
courteous to and respectful of faculty, staff, other students, and any other members of the education community irrespective of race, political ideals, belief systems,
and gender or sexual identification, so that all may feel at
ease in a learning environment where everyone is free to
participate in an open exchange of ideas. Throughout
your professional career you will be in contact with people from different cultural perspectives, and it is important to be sensitive to these differences. Therefore,
you shall make every effort to respect cultural diversity
both at Hunter and when you are a guest in a field site,
and shall discourage any prejudice or discrimination in
your own classroom. You shall at all times respect multi16
3. Professional Communication
Email Address: You are expected to use your Hunter College email address for all electronic communications relating to your work at Hunter or in the field, since this email
address is evidence of your professional affiliation with
Hunter. If you absolutely must use an alternative email address, that address should signify who you are (i.e. your
name), and not be a nickname, phrase, or be in any way
provocative or childish. Conversely, you should avoid using your professional email address for personal correspondence.
Email Etiquette: You shall also follow basic rules of email
etiquette. Always include a clear and direct subject line,
and be clear and concise in the body of the email. Obey
standard rules of grammar and style, write in full sentences, and avoid being overly familiar. Avoid humor, and be
aware that written communication is different from face to
face communication, since social cues such as facial expressions and tone are lost when writing, and something
you might mean as a harmless joke could be taken as an
offense by the recipient.
In addition to the above standards, you should be prepared to adhere to the standards of professionalism that
will apply to your future employment as a teacher, administrator, or counselor in a school system. The National
Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and
Certification defined a model code of ethics for educators
in a recent document published on the web:
»
Responsibility to the Profession, including upholding the rules, policies, and regulations of the profession,
maintaining mental and physical health, and engaging with
professional associations.
»
Responsibility for Professional Competence.
This includes keeping up-to-date on content and pedagogy,
disposing of student records, and working to provide all
students with equal access to curriculum and resources.
»
Responsibility to Students, including respecting
their backgrounds, avoiding inappropriate relationships
with students, and protecting student privacy.
»
Communicating with Your Professor: When writing to a
professor, be sure to indicate your course and section
number, and follow the basic rules of email etiquette discussed above. Also include your EMPL ID number.
Responsibility to the School Community, including working collaboratively with peers, supporting and
mentoring new teachers, and communicating with parents
in a timely and respectful way.
4. Social Media
Social Media (sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or
any other sites that encourage interactivity with the use of
text or multimedia “sharing”) is a powerful tool for communication and networking, with the potential for useful
teaching and learning opportunities. Although Hunter College does not have a specific policy related to Social Media,
you are cautioned to use common sense with online interactions, and to adhere to the same behavior as described
in the above section under “Interpersonal Relationships.”
The privacy of others in the community must be respected
according to the college’s FERPA policy, which includes
the posting of information about, or photos and videos
that depict your students or peers.
»
Responsible and Ethical Use of Technology. This
includes using social media in accordance with school and
district policy, monitoring the potential for cyberbullying,
and using technology to supplement teaching and learning.
The full text of the above code of ethics can be found
here. It is recommended that you take the time to familiarize yourself with these standards, which offer a common
framework that will most likely be applicable in some form
in any educational institution where you will be employed
in the future.
If you are placed in a DOE facility for your clinical field
work, you are required to adhere to the DOE Social Media Guidelines.

7. Academic Standing
the program. There is no period of probation associated
with this standard.
Progress Standards
»
All students in the School of Education must meet certain
academic benchmarks in order to progress in their
coursework. While some standards are common to all
students, others may only apply to students in particular
programs. Please consult the School of Education web
site or your program coordinator about the specific progress standards for your program.
GPA Standard for retention (common to all graduate and
undergraduate programs):
»
Students who receive a grade of F in any course in
the first 12 credits will not be allowed to continue in the
program. There is no period of probation associated
with this standard.
Restrictions Due to Grades of Incomplete (common
only to graduate programs):
»
Students must maintain a GPA of 3.0
The grade point average earned over the total period of a
student’s attendance indicates the adequacy of each student’s academic progress. Below you will find minimum
standards for retention and probation. Students who fail
to achieve the required academic standards will be placed
on academic probation. During this probationary period
students who make satisfactory academic progress will
continue to maintain their academic standing with the
School of Education. Students are placed on probation
and are dismissed at the end of each fall and spring semester.
Graduate students whose grades fall below this standard
are required to raise their GPAs to at least 3.0 within one
semester. After the posting of grades, the Office of the
Registrar will notify graduate advisers of students whose
GPA has fallen below 3.0. Those students will receive
warning notices that they have one probationary semester in which to raise their GPAs. Students who fail to
raise their averages sufficiently will be dropped from their
programs.
Undergraduate students whose grades fall below this
standard are required to raise their GPAs to at least 3.0
within one semester. Students who fail to raise their averages sufficiently will not be permitted to continue with
their School of Education coursework. Reminder: Academic requirements are the student’s responsibility. A
student is automatically on probation when he/she fails to
achieve the required standards, whether he/she has received notification of such probation from the School of
Education or not. Therefore, always be aware of your
cumulative GPA. Students on academic probation should
meet with their advisor, as well as visit the Center for
Student Achievement, Room 417 Hunter West.
Students with two or more INCs will not be allowed
to register for any courses. A hold will be placed on
your CUNYfirst account. You will be notified via your
myHunter email.
Note: It is recommended that students with two or more
INCs take an official leave of absence. If a grade of INC
(Incomplete) is given, the work must be completed
Within One Calendar Year from the end of the semester in which the student was enrolled. If the course is
not completed in this time, the INC becomes a permanent grade, which, in effect, means the student has not
taken that course.
Fieldwork, Practicum and Student Teaching Progress
Standards (common to many undergraduate and graduate
programs):
»
Students must earn a grade of B or better in all fieldwork, practicum or student teaching courses. Students
who earn an F or WU may not continue in their program.
Students who earn a grade of B-, C+ or C must apply to
the chair of the department for permission to re-take the
course.
Program-Specific Progress Standards (graduate and undergraduate):
In addition to those standards that are common to all
programs, each program has progress standards that relate to matters such as:
»
The number of completed credits required before
being eligible to take taking culminating coursework.
»
Certification exams.
»
Minimum grade requirements for particular classes.
»
Rules on repeating courses below standard.

Procedures for Appeal of Dismissal
Graduate Transfer of Credit
Students may appeal an academic dismissal and should discuss the preparation of the School of Education Application to Appeal Academic Standing with their Program Coordinator. The School of Education’s probation appeals
procedure will consider individual cases and make such
exception to these policies as circumstances may warrant.
Directly following a dismissal, please email the Office of
Academic and Student Affairs at
soe.oasa@hunter.cuny.edu to request the appeal form.
Students may have taken graduate courses prior to starting their program at Hunter College which may be equivalent to courses required by their program. In such cases,
students may request a Graduate Transfer of Credit, to
transfer their course from another institution to their current graduate record at Hunter College. Students must
submit a Graduate Transfer of Credit Request with supporting documents. A maximum of 12 credits may be
transferred to a graduate record.
Change of Status
Graduate students taking 12 or more credits per semester is considered at least full-time. Those taking at least six
credits is considered at least half-time. Students taking
fewer than these credit loads, including the student teaching or practicum course, may have their financial aid package impacted due to the reduced program status.
Graduate Leave of Absence
Graduate Transfer of Credit Form
Waiver or Exemptions
Students who took a course equivalent to one in their
course of study prior to starting their program at Hunter
may request for an exemption or a waiver for that course.
A course that is exempted need not be taken nor its credits replaced. A course that is waived need not be taken but
the credits must be replaced with another course approved by the program. Programs have different credit
allowances for exemptions. Exemptions and waivers are
used primarily for undergraduate courses to meet graduate course requirements. Equivalent graduate courses
should be submitted as a Graduate Transfer of Credit.
A leave of absence for a specific period may be approved
upon application to and approval of the Graduate Advisor
and the Divisional Dean. Such leaves of absences are approved only for reasons of documented disabling illness,

Types of Withdrawals
W (Official Withdrawal)
A non-punitive grade initiated by a student when a class is
dropped via CUNYfirst during the published withdrawal period. You may withdraw officially with a grade of W between
the third week of classes and the first day of the tenth week
of classes. The official deadline date for each semester and
summer term is published in the academic calendar. After
the deadline, a withdrawal will be recommended by the only
when it is clear that you have compelling reasons, (e.g., medical emergency, and adequate documentation, such as a formal
letter from healthcare provider.) For more information, contact the Office of Academic and Student Affairs
(soeoasa@hunter.cuny.edu).
WD (Withdraw Drop)
A non-punitive grade initiated by a student when a class is
dropped via CUNYfirst after the financial aid certification
date but before the published withdrawal period (usually, the
2nd and 3rd week of classes). The course and grade will not
appear on transcripts. If a student never attended the class, a
WN will replace this grade after the instructor has submitted his/her attendance verification roster.
SEEK - You must maintain at least 12 credits to be eligible
for SEEK, SEEK students may only drop below full-time with
the permission of the SEEK department.
FED DIRECT LOANS & PERKINS LOANS - If you
drop below 6 credits you may not be entitled to the funds
even if you have an outstanding balance owed to the college.
With 6 credits or more you are still eligible for the monies,
however, you may go into repayment if you have used your
grace period. If you are awarded a Direct Loan and a Perkins
Loan, you must conduct two separate Exit Interviews--one
for each award.
IF YOU WITHDRAW COMPLETELY FROM CLASSES,
YOUR FINANCIAL AID WILL BE AFFECTED. Follow up
with the Office of Academic and Student Affairs for more
information.
WN (Never Attended)
A non-punitive grade assigned by the Registrar after an instructor has marked a student absent. The course and grade
will not appear on transcripts.
WU (Unofficial Withdrawal)
If you have ceased to participate in a course but have not
withdrawn officially, you shall be deemed to have withdrawn
unofficially. Evidence of unofficial withdrawal includes failure
to attend class meetings for at least four weeks consecutively
through the end of the semester (the last day of classes); failure over this period to meet any course requirements; and
failure to attend the final examination. The WU, by CUNY

Graduation and Commencement
Early Degree Audit Process
In order to graduate from your program, you must apply
for graduation in your penultimate semester. The early degree audit is NOT processed through CUNYfirst, but rather through your myHunter page. Students submit an intent to graduate by clicking a button through myHunter.
The early degree audit process will help you plan for registration in your final semester to ensure you meet your
graduation requirements. Once you submit your intent to
graduate, you can cancel through myHunter. If you missed
the early degree audit graduation application cycle in your
penultimate semester, you will have another opportunity in
your final semester to submit an intent to graduate through
myHunter. Please keep in mind that graduation application
cycles do close so be aware of all deadline dates. If you
missed your opportunity to apply for graduation or you are
unable to complete your requirements for graduation, you
will have to apply for graduation for the following semester.
School of Education Spring Commencement
The School of Education holds one commencement ceremony (separate from the main Hunter College commencement ceremony) at the end of spring for all fall, spring and
summer* graduation applicants.
The School of Education Commencement Ceremony is a
separate ceremony from the Hunter College Commencement Ceremony. For questions regarding the Hunter College Commencement Ceremony, visit the Commencement
page on the Hunter College website. Students are encouraged to participate in both events.
All eligible degree candidates in any given academic year
will be invited to participate. Please note, that attending
the commencement ceremony and inclusion in the commencement program merely indicates that an individual is a
candidate for graduation, and may not be used as proof of
completion of the degree requirements. Commencement is
only the ceremony to celebrate graduation.

9. New York State Teacher Certification
Visit the Certification page on the School of Education
website for up-to-date information for NYS Certification.
Most of our graduate programs lead to NYS certification in teaching or pupil personnel services (i.e. school
building leader or school counselor). New York State
Education Department (NYSED) is the state agency
that issues all NYS certification. As certification is processed and issued online through NYSED’s TEACH
Online System, we encourage students in certification
programs to start their registration process right away.
All students in graduate programs will be recommended for initial and professional certification upon
graduation. Some programs, such as Professional
Mathematics, Childhood Education with STEM specialization and Elementary Math Specialist lead to
professional certification only. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that the appropriate three
years of teaching experience has been completed
with at least one year of mentored experience before applying for professional certification.
Students with prior NYS certification may use the
completion of any of our teacher preparation programs to meet the master’s degree requirement for
professional certification. Though we cannot recommend students for professional certification outside
of their program certification area, graduates from
