School Overview

History

The School of Education at 麻豆直播 has a rich history of preparing educational leaders since its founding in 1929. Prior to 1929, teacher preparation courses were offered through a department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In that year, the newly organized School of Education granted its first degree in secondary education. Throughout the years, the range of program options has expanded. Our graduates continue to provide high-quality instruction and services to children and youth in educational settings and communities in Pennsylvania and across the nation in their roles as teachers, school psychologists, administrators, counselors, professors, and other educational professionals. Ours is a proud tradition of preparing educational leaders and conducting scholarship for schools in the Spiritan Tradition of Caring. With a profound concern for moral and spiritual values and a deep commitment to helping every student achieve, the School of Education builds legacies by transforming lives. These qualities make us different and proud to be the 麻豆直播 School of Education.

Given its focus on academic excellence, the School of Education is committed to maintaining its national accreditation. In 2006, we were nationally recognized by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) based on a process of benchmarking the quality of our educator preparation programs through voluntary, external review based on national standards of excellence. In 2012, we engaged in an extensive continuing accreditation review and were granted full national accreditation through 2019. All educator preparation programs are currently accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), which is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Additionally, all educator preparation programs are recognized and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). A major requirement of the continuing accreditation process involves each certification program being reviewed by the respective Specialty Professional Associations (SPAs) based on national standards for the discipline. Thus, many of our certification programs also have national recognition based on the evidence we gather to demonstrate the positive impact our graduates have on students, clients, and in the communities in which they work.
