Department of Teaching and Learning
Mission Statement
The Department of Teaching and Learning provides quality programs for prospective
and practicing educators, curriculum coordinators, post-secondary educators, and
other educational professionals. As part of the College of Education, the Department
of Teaching and Learning has identified three academic components in the preparation
of its educators: foundational requirements, professional content-knowledge requirements,
and experiential learning (knowledge, skills, and dispositions). The broad range
of graduate and undergraduate professional programs in the areas of elementary,
secondary, reading, and educational psychology offered by the Department of Teaching
and Learning promotes collaboration among faculty, students, and educational professionals.
The department prepares informed, capable, and ethical practitioners who are reflective
decision-makers. Faculty in the Department of Teaching and Learning value excellence
and are committed to teaching, research, and service.
