Education in Coe college

The Coe College Education Department aims to foster an appreciation that teaching and learning are active, collaborative, effortful and recursive. As such, teachers must continually acquire knowledge, communicate their understanding, build connections between ideas and reflect on and modify their understanding. Further, we believe competent teachers are passionate about learning, appreciate diverse learners' needs and experiences and possess skills related to positively influencing the learning of all students.Your field work in local schools will begin early in your course of studies, and by the time you are ready to student teach, you will have more than 120 hours of real classroom experience under your belt.
