Dean’s Message
At a Historically Black Colleges and Universities collaborative conference with Educational Testing Service and NCATE, one of the speakers made the statement that “It takes the whole university to produce a teacher” which was a paraphrase of an ancient African proverb “It takes a whole village to raise a child.” The School of Education is very cognizant of the pivotal roles that faculty and staff from other schools and the entire University family play in helping to produce highly qualified teachers. The School in collaboration with the University seeks to ensure that our graduates are capable of providing quality instruction to K-12 learners in a global diverse arena through this hemisphere.
At the undergraduate level, we offer 10 NCATE accredited/ Florida State Approved programs that provide the opportunity for our graduates to enter the educational arena with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to become highly effective teachers. There are also three masters programs in reading, elementary education and exceptional student education. We are proud of the fact that Florida Memorial is a leader in the production of African-American teachers both at the State and national level.
We invite those that are interested, who have a passion for teaching and learning, to become a part of our program as we continue the History, Legacy and Tradition of Florida Memorial University: Preparing Constructivist, Competent, and Compassionate educators (C3E). |
