The School of Education provides these resources to ensure students meet requirement one:
  1. The Virginia Tech Principles of Community are included in every syllabus in all graduate programs across the School of Education.
    During the start-of-semester in-class review of the syllabus, these principles are discussed along with the mission of the School of Education, which seeks to prepare individuals to advance the goals of equity and social justice through education, applied research, advocacy, and research.

    Our mission aligns with Virginia Tech's motto, "Ut Prosim" (That I May Serve).
  2. All graduate students in the School of Education are required to complete training on ethical issues and academic integrity as they relate to graduate education.


    The School of Education has developed a set of training modules to meet this requirement. Please use the button below labeled "Click here to go to Ethics Module 1" to begin the required training.
