More About Our Program

Our faculty members possess not only demonstrated knowledge of their content, integral to the elementary curriculum, but also a passion for the ideas embodied in their discipline. We teach students to bring a high level of pedagogical knowledge to their teaching, translating theory, and research into effective practice, and we place significant emphasis on the practice of critical reflection to enhance teaching practices. Our pedagogical courses and classroom experiences, urban and suburban, are designed to induct teachers into the current research and best practices of each subject area in the elementary curriculum.
