Based on the realization that tomorrow’s hope lies with today’s teachers, the Kentucky Wesleyan Teacher Education program provides experiences designed to develop teachers who are life-long learners capable of facing a diverse, ever-changing world. Service begins early in the teacher education experience, and although each student is required to complete 200 hours of field and clinical experience, students often far exceed this requirement in services given to local schools and youth organizations.
Offerings include a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary or middle grades education. A Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree can be earned in conjunction with secondary certification or P-12 certification in related content majors, i.e. English, Math, Biology, etc.
Learning Outcomes
- Students will acquire the skills of a quality teacher.
- Students will exhibit the dispositions of a professional educator.
- Students will acquire the pedagogical/content knowledge to be a successful teacher.
