A Message from the Department

Socio-economic advantages, language, disabilities, and race too often predict academic outcomes in the Central Valley. It is increasingly urgent for schools to improve educational achievements and break the persistence of inequity. The Department of Teacher Education deepens this commitment by recruiting, preparing, and supporting educators who are strongly equipped to ensure that all students succeed, regardless of circumstance.
