Bachelor [Education] From Yeshiva University

The mission of the Stern College for Women Department of Education is to prepare young women to become competent, capable, and caring teachers who are reflective, lifelong learners. The strong pedagogical core is aligned with the New York State Teaching Standards, Common Core Learning Standards, and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). The comprehensive and diverse course offerings are informed by our commitment to developmentally appropriate best professional practices to improve teaching and learning for all children. Fieldwork experiences and a full professional semester of student teaching in local urban public and non-public schools provide our pre-service students with solid preparation leading to New York State initial certification in early childhood (Birth-Grade 2) or childhood (Grade 1-6) education. Unique to our New York State Certified and CAEP accredited Educator Preparation Program is a special collaboration with Lincoln Center Education that provides pre-service candidates with a foundation in arts integration. In addition, candidates who complete our program are prepared to teach children from diverse multicultural backgrounds, address differentiated learning needs, incorporate 21st century technological skills, and contribute meaningfully to their larger school communities.
