Thomas College is leading the field of teacher preparation through the design of its three-year programs in Education, which are now being offered across our suite of early childhood, elementary and secondary programs. Students can earn a teaching degree and be recommended for certification in three years. There is a need for practical answers to systemic challenges in the ways the school approaches contemporary teacher education, while it also needs to incubate and support a new generation of teachers to serve a highly diverse population. The school's faculty is still seeking, striving and pursuing a model of teacher education that reflects the dynamic atmosphere of the classrooms that pre-service teachers will be entering, the schools they will be influencing, and the next generation of students they will be leading towards what may be possible to see.
