The Program is concerned with the essential importance of foundational understanding for teachers and other professionals. This linking of theory and practice is often called praxis, a notion that the best teachers and researchers combine research or theory with action or practice. We endorse reflective practice and affirm that an understanding of social-cultural and psychological phenomena and knowledge of methods of research and assessment inform reflection. This knowledge enhances the interpretive, evaluative, and decision-making capacities of educators and other professionals.
