Mission StatementThe mission of the Teacher Education Program at Pacific Oaks College is to prepare professional educators who understand diversity, are grounded in human development and value children. We believe that:
Awareness of diversity is integral to an educational process in which each individual is valued for their own identity, culture, language and ability, and where discrimination against others is identified and challenged.
Teachers as well as students must be involved in meaningful learning experiences characterized by inquiry, reflection, and support; our courses model learning environments that take current knowledge about human development into account.
To best serve children in public or private schools, teachers must learn to integrate constructivist approaches, standards-based instruction, and technology within a challenging and interesting curriculum.
