The
teacher education program at St. Andrews is fully accredited by the National
Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and by the
North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). The program
provides a comprehensive program of study aligned with state and national
standards and is designed to prepare outstanding teachers for the 21st
century. One
of the foremost advantages of studying teacher education at St. Andrews
is the uncommon flexibility we provide in meeting your educational and
career goals. In addition to offering several licensing options, you may
also create programs of study in education that do not lead to certification,
but that lead to equally rewarding lifelong careers in the field of education.
Whatever option you choose, you can be assured that you will receive not
only a strong liberal arts education, but also the program you need to
begin your educational career. This flexibility is made possible largely
through our best assets: the excellent education faculty and the unique,
interdisciplinary outlook you will find in all St. Andrews classes. With an overall student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1, St. Andrews professors can afford to take the time to listen, to care, and to become directly involved in your education. Your professors’ personalized attention is an invaluable resource, given the often highly personal nature of the process of discovering your teaching style and strengths. You will find yourself quickly involved in and challenged by each class discussion, where your contributions will be heard in a spirit of academic inquiry and openness. |
