Program Info

The Center for Educator Success strives to provide the highest quality instruction and support educators enrolled in the teacher certification program. Coursework takes place in classroom and blended settings, with instructors who are content and pedagogy experts. As a teacher candidate, you will also spend time observing practicing classroom teachers in partnership schools before your paid internship begins.

Throughout the program, you will be actively involved with the subject matter content and will be provided a mentor at your campus. During the critical one-year internship period, you will be supported by experienced field supervisors who will assist you in content knowledge and instructional skills.
