Teacher Education

Your classroom is calling.

We are still accepting applications for the 2020-21 academic year. Classes begin June 2020.

Lewis & Clark’s programs for educators prepare you to work in diverse school settings and with all children—including those from different cultural, linguistic, and economic backgrounds, and those who have special needs. Teachers learn to investigate and support each child’s unique growth—academic, social, and emotional—as citizens of the world. Here, extensive content preparation and research-based models form the basis of a rich intellectual experience and ensure your success beyond the classroom.

Minh Xuan Taylor, Elementary Education
“My grandfather inspired me to pursue a career in education. He taught me the power that education has to change lives.”
Kaye Blankenship, Secondary Art
“I am dedicated to using artists of color and queer artists as examples whenever possible. It is so important that all students see themselves in the art field and art history, so that they can know that their artistic inclinations are valid and needed.”
Brent Mangun, Elementary Education
“I want my students to be comfortable in sharing their thoughts and ideas around their own race and identity without feeling disparaged or compromised by other adults or peers.”

Join us June 7 at 10 AM for the 2020 online commencement ceremony!
