Welcome
to the School of Education website at Charleston Southern
University.
At
CSU, we are committed to providing a quality education
as we meet the challenge of preparing our future teachers.
Through experiences which allow students to explore ideas,
confront education issues, consider alternatives, make
decisions and apply knowledge in practical situations,
they will discover their own learning resources. As a result
of this discovery, we expect that prospective teachers
will view learning as exciting, renewing and ongoing; and
they will act in ways, which create opportunities for their
own professional growth as well as that of their future
students. Students choosing to teach will find that much
attention, nationally and locally, is being focused on
education; their contribution can serve to perpetuate this
dynamic and exciting thrust toward education excellence.
Our
primary purpose is to prepare highly-skilled initial teachers
for early childhood, elementary, and secondary school instruction
and administrators for instructional support. The Preparing
Competent, Caring Educators Committed to Student Success
model serves to define the Professional Program in Teacher
Education.
The
School of Education is accredited by the National Council
for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). This accreditation
covers initial teacher preparation programs and advanced
educator preparation programs.

The purpose of our “Honored Educators” site is to enhance the visibility of the competent, caring, committed teachers who complete our NCATE accredited programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. We are incredibly proud of you and want to share your good news with CSU friends and family. Please share this information with alumni who may not read CSU Magazine and encourage them to network with peers and help us to create an active, up-do-date site.
