Course Overview

Our technology-rich professional studies programs incorporate theory, field experience, supported pedagogy, and a semester of full-time, supervised student teaching. Candidates accepted into the Teacher Education program prepare for Initial New York State Certification in either Childhood Education, Adolescence Education or Physical Education.

The Education Department at St. Francis College prepares teachers to serve and lead in a multicultural community. Through reflective, constructive teaching, we develop our students’ capacities to become caring, competent, and qualified educators. We strive to provide a curriculum that is academically and pedagogically challenging, in a departmental environment that nurtures mutual respect, empathy and an emphasis on affirming and encouraging the best in others. Our programs reflect our deep commitment to the Franciscan ideals of service to the community, acceptance of individual differences, and caring. Our aim is to graduate student-centered practitioners who place students at the heart of their teaching.

The goals of the St. Francis College Childhood and Adolescence Teacher Education programs are to prepare teachers who are:

  • Familiar with state-mandated content standards
  • Familiar with current research and best practices in education and their content areas
  • Disposed to be reflective, ethical, and caring practitioners who strive for subject mastery and excellence in teaching
  • Models of active informed citizens who are committed to lifelong learning
  • Committed to continually increase their knowledge of content and pedagogy
  • Determined to create a classroom environment in which learning and respect for individual diversity are priorities.
  • Effective communicators to their students, parents, peers, and community members.
  • Advocates for the rights of all students to achieve their full potential.
