John Carroll education students learn by doing – and teaching. The University has built strong relationships with numerous nearby school districts, which means that you’ll have ample opportunities to observe and work directly with students and teachers in their classrooms. These valuable experiences begin as early as your first year in the program and continue through your student teaching year.

 

All programs are state-approved and accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
