These schools within a reasonable commute distance do not allow for the ethnic diversity in the student population that teachers may encounter during their careers. The Jan Term requirement provides an additional experience that is critical to a teacher’s success in the classrooms of most communities. It also assists candidates in meeting Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) Principle 3: The teacher understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners and McDaniel College’s Conceptual Framework. Outcome 2: McDaniel College prepares knowledgeable, caring, and reflective practitioners who use their self-awareness and knowledge of diversity to create learning environments that support their belief that all students can learn.
