Department of Education

Our mission is to prepare highly effective educators and school counselors who believe in full inclusion, who value diversity, and who are reflective and knowledgeable about best practices.

The School of Education offers a variety of programs that are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Such accreditation is a formal recognition of the high quality and standards of preparation future teachers receive here at Sage.
