Education Department Overview
As part of a Christian learning community at Bethel University, the Department of Education seeks to prepare educational leaders for service in public and private schools:
- who are reflective practitioners pursuing continued personal learning and professional renewal;
- who are knowledgeable and competent in their subject matter;
- who understand how students learn and develop, and who facilitate learning through effective teaching;
- who establish collaborative relationships with students, staff, parents, and community members of varying personalities, racial/ethnic backgrounds, family characteristics, socioeconomic statuses, and abilities; and
- whose Christian worldview provides a strong moral framework characterized by integrity and compassion.
