    Goals

    The Esteves School of Education prepares students to become highly-effective educators, school counselors and school leaders who believe in full inclusion, value diversity and are knowledgeable about best practices.

    Research

    At Russell Sage College, the focus is on practical and applied research – finding innovative ways to apply classroom knowledge and theory to everyday situations. Students have opportunities to conduct independent research or participate in faculty-sponsored research projects, and may present their work at the annual graduate and undergraduate research symposiums.

    Accreditation

    Sage’s Esteves School of Education has held continuous accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE/CAEP) since October 2001. NCATE/CAEP accreditation means that graduates are recognized as having completed an Education program that meets the highest standards in the field. Sage graduates should note the NCATE/CAEP accreditation on their resumes and be prepared to talk about its significance.
    • Sage is one of only 45 colleges and universities in New York State to receive prestigious NCATE/CAEP accreditation. Across the nation, relatively few private colleges can claim this level of excellence in teach education programs.
    • The NCATE/CAEP accreditation process helped articulate what qualities a Sage educator, counselor, or leader possesses: belief in full inclusion, valuing diversity, reflection, and knowledge about best practices. NCATE/CAEP accreditation is a mark of assurance that teachers, counselors, and leaders educated at Sage are competent, caring, and highly qualified.
    • NCATE/CAEP accreditation means that Sage graduates are better prepared to help their students reach high standards.
    • Graduates of NCATE/CAEP accredited programs can more easily receive certification and teaching jobs in other states; NCATE/CAEP is recognized throughout the nation.
