The School of Education prepares highly qualified, caring, and effective educators to meet the needs of students in diverse settings within the State of New York and beyond. We do so by linking theory, scholarship, and social justice. Our programs emphasize equity, academic excellence, reflective practice, curriculum integration, and advocacy. The programs promote meaningful fieldwork in which pre-service and in-service teachers engage with students, families, and other educators within diverse communities. Our students conduct research, understand educational policies, and develop the skills required to meet the needs of all students. Through their courses and fieldwork, our students develop the dispositions that guide and support their teaching and leading.
Schools play an essential role in shaping the future of the students. Schools offer the students the high-quality education and also a flexible curriculum. Thus, it helps in improving the student’s cognitive ability. Many schools have gone beyond the traditional method of learning and bringing up new concepts. In such a way, they have improved the mental, physical and social aspects of students.
Students planning to go to college should consider how colleges will look at their courses during the application process. Grade point average (GPA) is important, but coursework should also demonstrate academic rigor.
Expert teachers are more adept at monitoring student problems and assessing their level of understanding and progress, and they provide much more relevant, useful feedback. Expert teachers are more adept at developing and testing hypotheses about learning difficulties or instructional strategies.
