Teacher Education Program Faculty and Staff

Faculty work with students in the classroom.In addition to completing Education courses, students in the Teacher Education Program complete subject area majors and/or minors.

Faculty from over 20 different Calvin departments teach courses covering subject area content and content pedagogy knowledge.

Program faculty are well-known for their teaching skills, leadership, research, and community involvement. Several successful grants have enabled our faculty to provide professional development to local teachers in the areas of mathematics, literacy, and science.

Teacher Education Program faculty also supervise field experiences and student teaching assignments in local Christian, public, and charter schools.
