For further information, visit the website [at](at www.moravian.edu/education)[ www.moravian.edu/education](at www.moravian.edu/education).  \nThe department of education at Moravian College has oneof the longest-established teacher education programs in a Pennsylvania liberal arts college. Since 1892, Moravian has prepared students for careers in education as well as those related to their academic majors through programming that integrates academic and teaching concentrations with extensive experience in the schools. Teaching has been an essential part of the mission of the College throughout its history. The ultimate goal of a Moravian education is to lay the foundation for continued learning, useful participation in the work of the world, and a deeper enjoyment of life. This statement affirms the values that are essential to an effective program of teacher preparation and supports the historic Moravian commitment to teaching and learning.  \nStrong, Personalized Academic Majors  \nMoravian College offers teacher certification programs in nineteen areas, including early childhood, middle level, art, music, French, German, Spanish, biology, chemistry, citizenship education/social studies, English, general science, mathematics, physics, ESL, reading specialist, principal, supervisory, and special education.  \nThe College believes that a teacher is best prepared through a program that integrates the principles of liberal education with concentrations of study in an academic discipline and in teaching, combined with extensive field  \nexperiences in the schools. The program engages students in reflection on their practice in order to help them become teachers who act deliberately and thoughtfully and are able to explain the basis for those actions.  \nThe main goals and objectives of the department are to prepare teachers who are scholars as well as teachers, possess a solid grasp of content to be taught, are committed to the academic success of all their students, are concerned with the personal as well as intellectual development of their students, use pedagogical strategies that are firmly grounded in empirical research and systematic reflection of practice, understand the value of continuing professional development, teach to the diversity of students in  \ntheir classrooms, use assessment to inform instruction, are proficient with integrating technology to enhance instruction, and are lifelong learners.  \nGraduate teacher education options at Moravian include the Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Education degrees. Undergraduate students with advanced standing and the approval of their advisor may enroll in introductory graduate level courses and apply to begin work on additional certification as a special educator, an ESL specialist, a reading specialist, principal, or supervisor of curriculum and instruction.  \nThe education department is a member of the European-based Collaborative Action Research Network, with partner universities around the world including  \nMoravian College 1200 Main Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018 610 861-1320 [www.moravian.edu/education](www.moravian.edu/education)  \nCambridge, Utrecht, and the University of Waikato. Moravian, along with Notre Dame, Pepperdine, and others, is a founding member of the Action Research Network of the Americas, which is committed to supporting practitioner inquiry in educational settings.  \nMoravian’s extensive partnerships provide additional opportunities for teacher education students to present their research at partner colleges and universities around the world and also enable Moravian to bring nationally and internationally recognized teacher education scholars to campus.  \nHands-On Learning  \nThe education department believes that teacher education candidates learn to become effective teachers only when they have meaningful and continued opportunities to teach real students in real classrooms","cbCaiiNfdMPBvXt1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiNfdMPBvXt1","pdf",1392541,"English","# Department overview\n## Teacher certification areas\n## Program approach and goals\n## Graduate options\n## Hands-on learning and field stages\n## Alumni careers in education","[{\"question\":\"What teacher certification areas does the education department offer?\",\"answer\":\"The department offers teacher certification programs in nineteen areas, including early childhood, middle level, art, music, French, German, Spanish, biology, chemistry, citizenship education/social studies, English, general science, mathematics, physics, ESL, reading specialist, principal, supervisory, and special education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the program prepare candidates to become effective teachers?\",\"answer\":\"Preparation combines liberal education principles with academic discipline and teaching concentrations, extensive field experiences, and structured reflection on practice to help candidates act deliberately and thoughtfully.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main components of the department’s hands-on learning model?\",\"answer\":\"Field placements provide classroom experiences at each course-work level, progressing developmentally from early stages through pre-student teaching and culminating in student teaching, with all experiences aligned to the education course sequence.\"}]","Department of Education - Moravian College Factsheet - Teacher Education Programs and Field Learning | PDF",1790273383]
