Teacher Education Program
Unit Mission
The mission of the Teacher
Education Program at Bethune-Cookman College is designed to support and
carry out the mission of the college to serve in the Christian tradition,
the educational, social, and cultural needs of its students and to develop
in the students the desire and capacity for continuous intellectual and
professional growth, leadership, and service to others. The implementation
of this mission has led to the Teacher Education Program’s commitment to
providing a student-centered environment where teacher candidates experience
the freedom to grow, reflect and become effective professional educators.
Reflected in this mission is the belief that effective educators will be
competent, caring, and committed to provide quality instruction to all
learners.
