Our Academic lifestyle floors offer many advantages to our residents, including programming geared towards education and teaching. What types of programs would you like to see offered? In what ways would you like to interact with the Curriculum and Instruction department? Applications are now being reviewed. Application must be completed and accepted before you may choose a room on this floor. ***Please note: Curriculum and Instruction at Illinois State University has a historic and enduring commitment to educate teachers who will be responsive to the moral and intellectual demands a democratic society places on them. Illinois State teachers unite the moral and intellectual aspects of teaching by embodying what one might call their virtues. The moral and intellectual virtues that under gird teacher education at Illinois State University can be found in the conceptual framework document: Realizing the Democratic Ideal. This document is available at the following web site: www.coe.ilstu.edu/teachereducation/RealizingDemocraticIdeal/index.shtml. Based upon this document and the premise that the residents of this floor will represent their intended profession and the department with which they belong, residents of this floor will not be allowed to display virtues which are in opposition to residence hall, state, or federal rules, regulations, or laws. If any residents should be found in violation of any of the above virtues, rules, regulations, or laws, these students may be removed from this lifestyle as well as reported to the Teacher Education Center as a disposition concern.
