Teacher Education Program
The goal of the Teacher Education Program at Lees-McRae College is to provide strong courses of study which promote positive and holistic development of teachers within a reflective practitioner framework. It is expected that students who complete the Teacher Education Program and become licensed teachers will be individuals who have a distinct knowledge about practice and theory of teaching as well as a balanced sense of personal values, integrity, and moral worth. It is also expected that students who complete the program will become teachers who reflect on all aspects of the teaching/learning process and will mentor their own students.
“The Elementary Education program has allowed me to gain a better understanding of what I want to do in my future career. One of my passions is working with all different ages of children, and teaching them things they have never thought of or experienced before.
I have definitely learned how to accomplish this thanks to the program, and most importantly, the professors.
I have had so many positive experiences in this program!”
