Our Mission

The Calvin Teacher Education Program seeks to develop responsive and transformative Christian educators who can meet the needs of diverse students in multiple school settings.

The Conceptual Framework (PDF, 61Kb) articulates a shared vision for Calvin College's Teacher Education Program in its efforts to prepare educators for PK-12 classrooms. The Conceptual Framework provides direction for the Teacher Education Program’s courses, teaching, candidate performance, scholarship, service, and accountability.

It includes an articulation of the Teacher Education Program’s particular perspective, which will characterize Calvin's teacher education graduates.
