Education

Welcome to the Division of Education! As a source of Black excellence in education and beyond, LeMoyne-Owen’s Education division is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), a national accrediting body for schools, colleges, departments, and divisions of education that was authorized by the United States Department of Education. This accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and advanced educator preparation programs.

Mission

The mission of the Division of Education is to prepare candidates as facilitators of transformative processes who are able to educate students from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds and prepare them to perform efficiently and effectively within a contemporary global framework.

This purpose is under-girded by two complementary goals:

  1. To provide an excellent teaching and learning environment that results in critical literacy and learning for teacher candidates who will in turn mirror these outcomes for Pre-K–12 students, and;
  2. To provide, in collaboration with partnership schools, related field experiences and clinical practice where teacher candidates develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that make them facilitators of transformative processes.
