The Teaching and Teacher Education Graduate Program at the University of Michigan School of Education
Teaching and teacher education is the core of the educational enterprise. The development of young people in our society depends on the skill, knowledge, and caring of practicing professionals. Attending to the quality of schooling is fundamental to concerns for equity, opportunity, and the growth of human potential. In recent years, both teaching and the professional education designed to develop it have come under fire. Graduate study in teaching and teacher education at the University of Michigan seeks to prepare accomplished scholars, teachers, and leaders with the knowledge and skill to develop and improve practice in disciplined ways. Distinguished by our close connections to practice in schools and in programs of teacher education, our faculty works closely with graduate students to prepare them to contribute to the quality of professional practice and policy at the K- 12 level, as well as in the education and development of practicing professionals.
