The idea of purposeful and intentional teaching focused through a
liberal arts lens captures the vision of teacher education shared by the
Education Department. We believe that purposeful and intentional teachers
demonstrate intellectual curiosity and philosophical, pedagogical, and
academic grounding. We seek to develop teachers who practice reflective
and intentional teaching and advocacy for the community, profession, and
all children.
The Education Department offers three certification courses of study for
students wishing to pursue a teaching career: Elementary/Collaborative K-6,
Secondary 6-12, and Arts P-12. The Elementary/Collaborative Education
degree program offers students dual certification endorsement in both
elementary and special education. Secondary and Arts candidates receive
a degree in their subject area and take a series of education courses to
complete the College’s state-approved Teacher Education Program (TEP).
All of the College’s teacher education programs are accredited and/or
approved by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation
