Teacher Education
Overview
The Teacher Education Program at Aquinas College is committed to empowering teachers to make a difference for each student they teach. The curriculum is based on an interdisciplinary major in the liberal arts, thus providing the broad scope necessary for professional competence. Additionally, exposure to extensive classroom experience and volunteer activities enhances the level of confidence necessary to begin the practice of teaching.
Most importantly however, our entire curriculum recognizes that every student, as a creature of God, is blessed with inherent dignity and eternal worth. Thus, our faculty view and profess teaching as a Gift and a Mission, not merely a profession or career.
The Tennessee Department of Education has granted approval for the Teacher Education Program to offer licensure in Elementary Education K-6 for Post Baccalaureate Elementary licensure program.
