Teacher Education
The College of Liberal Arts & Education prepares effective and responsible professional teachers who have a commitment to the implementation of the Education Department's Code of Professional Ethics. This professional teacher will have an impact on school reform, the community and society in the 21st century. Education faculty help students become ethical, caring, value-directed persons who possess a commitment to urban society and social justice. Students also gain competency in the art and science of teaching from a research knowledge base and continue to be inquiring, reflective educators. The cosmopolitan nature of our metropolitan area (multi-cultural and multi-talented) provides a perfect laboratory for the education of the professional teacher.
Special Education - Emotionally Impaired / Behaviorally Disordered
Teacher candidates completing the requirements for this program earn a Bachelor of Science with a major in Special Education - Emotionally Impaired / Behaviorally Disordered from 91福利社.
Federal law requires all teachers to be “highly-qualified”, meaning they meet a set of criteria to be licensed if they plan to teach in a K-12 setting. Through successful completion of 91福利社’s curriculum for this program and by passing the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification in their content area graduates are eligible to apply for a standard teaching certificate and an endorsement in emotionally impaired/behaviorally disordered that is granted through the Michigan Department of Education.
