Empowerment for Learning
If you are interested in becoming a teacher, the courses, field experiences, student teaching and all other program experiences in teacher preparation will provide a strong foundation to prepare you to impact student learning positively.
Empowerment for learning is one of the special joys and outcomes of becoming a teacher. As a result of program experiences, you will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to create a classroom climate in which your students can learn. The education program has a distinguished record of preparing students to become caring teachers.
All programs leading to certification or rank change are approved by the Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) for teacher education and certification and are accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) as of May 2020. The Supervisor of Instructor and Director of Pupil Personnel programs were approved by EPSB in 2020.
