School of Education

Stevenson is committed to providing an expansive and solid educational foundation in the liberal arts. It is through this education that all Stevenson students—regardless of discipline—learn to meet the challenges of life, society, and the working world.

In the School of Education, teacher candidates are equipped with a strong foundation to build a successful career in education. All candidates study subjects closely related to their major and take courses in technology. Throughout the programs, the goal is to blend the liberal arts and the courses within the major to prepare candidates for life after Stevenson.

What sets SU apart?
At SU, candidates develop one-on-one relationships with faculty members and other students, resulting in benefits that include:

  • Faculty members advising individual candidates and addressing their specific needs.
  • Close supervision during a candidate’s varied and extensive classroom field placements.
  • Candidates learning from one another by completing group projects and sharing experiences.

In addition to mastering the liberal arts, math, and science content areas, candidates demonstrate skills in classroom management, lesson planning, and meeting the individual needs of their students. One component that makes Stevenson University’s approach distinctive is a focus on technology to improve instruction. Candidates learn how to use technology to ensure the success of their students in the classroom.

The School of Education prepares competent, highly qualified, and caring educators who:

  • Demonstrate competency in the liberal arts, math, and science.
  • Understand the implications of technology and use it to enable their students to become successful learners.
  • Develop the ability to effectively teach curriculum content so that all students achieve success.
  • Engage in classroom inquiry and reflection on practice.
  • Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of communities and cultures in order to interact with diverse groups of people.
