ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

The teacher education department of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ envisions an extensive learning community grounded in the values of our Jesuit mission, informed by a learner-centered model of instruction, and seeking to cultivate educational leaders with high levels of competence, a social justice informed conscience, and compassion for diverse learners. 

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ provides a high-quality teacher preparation program grounded in content knowledge, focused on pedagogy, and centered on clinical practice for all students in our elementary education and secondary education programs. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ strongly believes that reflective practice is essential to candidates’ growth and development.

We offer a rich integration of coursework, clinical experience, and individualized attention.

The Teacher Preparation Program Includes:

• Teaching in one of our Baltimore-area P-12 partner schools
• Applying theory to practice
• Observing teachers and students in a variety of placements
• Planning instruction for academically diverse learners
• Co-teaching, microteaching, and lead teaching
• Demonstrating effective strategies for working with culturally and linguistically diverse learners
• Reflecting on teaching and learning
• Remaining connected to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ through a variety of induction programs and events

An internship at one of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s professional development schools is part of the student's clinical experience. Interns are able to receive hands-on experience as a teacher in a Baltimore-area school.
