Department Profile
Faculty are experienced educators and researchers. We believe the most effective preparation for teaching is one that combines a liberal arts education with courses in the theory and practice of teaching. Coe students experience multiple field placements to develop content knowledge, instructional approaches, and professional dispositions for teaching. Pre-service teachers earn at least 120 experiential hours in K-12 classrooms prior to student teaching. Approximately 30 students graduate each year with a readiness to begin careers with K-12 schools. Additionally, integrated within Coe’s liberal arts curriculum, Coe’s education coursework supports student pursuits of complementary pathways in teaching and learning that include graduate school, private sector, non-profits, and human services.
Mission Statement
Coe Teacher Education aims to foster in prospective teachers an appreciation that teaching and learning are active, collaborative, effortful and recursive. As such, teachers must continually acquire knowledge, communicate their understanding, reflect on and modify their understanding. Further, we believe that competent teachers are passionate about learning, appreciate diverse learners’ needs and experiences, and possess skills related to positively influencing the learning of all students.
