The mission of Connecticutʹs ARC program is to provide a time‐condensed pathway to teaching credentials for adults who have a strong desire to become teachers and who 

possess strong academic and content backgrounds as well as a wide array of life and professional experiences. ARC is a 

teacher preparation program that is designed to support the learning styles of adults.

ARC Dispositions for TeachingThe ARC program believes that effective teachers:

1.Have a passion for teaching that makes them committed to being the best teachers possible.

2.Believe that all children can learn and thus a quality education should be accessible to all children.

3.Possess a positive, caring attitude towards all children and recognize that children learn in many different ways.

4.Respect and appreciate diversity among their students, colleagues, and the community at large.

5.Are committed to their own continued learning so that they can become even more effective teachers.

6.Believe that educators must be committed to and exhibit the highest levels of moral and ethical behavior  ( CT. Code of Professional Responsibility for Teachers)
