School Administrators
The School of Education is dedicated to excellence in teacher education enhanced by collegial student-faculty relationships. The hallmarks of teacher education at Willamette University include: emphasizing teachers as collaborative, informed educational leaders, gaining insight into reflective practice and classroom research, understanding multicultural and global education, demonstrating accountability to student learning, and viewing teaching as an inquiry process.
At the School of Education, we strive to develop strong partnerships with Oregon schools while nurturing an awareness of the diverse needs of learners across the nation.
Diversity Statement
All teacher education candidates are immersed in dialogue about the knowledge of, and respect for, what is culturally significant, socially just and equitable for individuals and groups. Candidates continue this dialogue in their student teaching placements.
