• Professional Education Program Legacy Documents

  Stony Brook University has been educating pre-service teachers and teacher-leaders for decades. Previously, the academic programs and accreditation were administered by the Professional Education Program (PEP), which became D-TALE in 2017. During the transition from PEP to D-TALE, PEP resources were integrated into the D-TALE website, including the Guide to Education and Conceptual Framework linked below.

  GUIDE TO TEACHER EDUCATION

  The dedicated group of professors and administrators from PEP created the Guide to Teacher Education, which delineates the foundational philosophy underpinning the program and how that philosophy is realized in students' coursework and field experiences. 

  Guide to Teacher Education

  PEP CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

  The PEP Conceptual Framework (excerpted from within the above Guide to Teacher Education) offers a holistic view of teacher prep at Stony Brook: the vision, the mission, and practical pathways to certification.
