The theme of teacher education is: "Actively engaged in becoming a teacher at the intersection of theory and practice."

By studying both professional education and traditional academic subjects, students grow intellectually. Commitment to Christian service and the process of learning how to fulfill that commitment through teaching helps young adults grow personally and morally. Through various teacher education programs, students prepare for teaching careers and become active and effective participants in community life.
