A graphic schema was constructed to incorporate the college of education’s Conceptual Framework. It may be seen from the schema that three components comprise the schema. One component focuses on the expectation held by faculty that  graduates will be caring, committed, competent and culturally responsive urban educators.  A second component focuses on practices designed to result in the realization of the faculty’s expectations. A third component focuses on outcomes  - extents to which COE expectations have come to fruition. The faculty uses the acronym ExPO to refer to this three-component construction.
