Teacher Education - Eastern Mennonite University

Teacher Education from Eastern Mennonite University is a Campus Bachelor Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The mission of the EMU teacher education program is to prepare competent, caring, reflective practitioners who advocate for children and youth, develop caring learning environments, initiate and respond creatively to change, and value service to others. The teacher education program envisions preparing informed life-long leaders and learners who value the dignity of all persons and are ready and willing to share a pilgrimage of openness and continuous growth as they invite others to join them. These reflective practitioners will offer healing and hope in a diverse world. The mission and vision are based on the following beliefs: We believe that teachers are best prepared through a rigorous liberal arts program that seeks integration across disciplines and cultures. We believe in a reflective teaching model that develops excellence in teaching, an ethic of caring, and creative problem solving. We believe in the integration of theory and reflective practice through purposeful and systematic experiences in college classrooms and field placements within P-12 classrooms. We believe that candidates have the power to serve as collaborative change agents with sensitivity to an interdependent world. We believe in the integration of Anabaptist principles with the profession of teaching based on a Christian world view valuing community, caring relationships, service to others, peacebuilding and conflict transformation, and stewardship of resources. We believe that it is important for all candidates to respect and value cultural diversity, and to relate to students and communities in culturally appropriate ways. We believe that faculty who mentor candidates should nurture and model desirable personal and professional qualities. View more details on Eastern Mennonite University .
