The Education Department of Saint Mary's College is committed to developing and maintaining a teacher preparation program that empowers educators as decision-makers and leaders. A corollary to empowerment is acknowledgment of the responsibility to act.
The moral and ethical responsibilities of teaching are inherent in the vocation of education. Integral to the vocation of education is the obligation to nurture human potential in all of its diversity.
The dynamic process of developing the capabilities and motivation to learn to teach is an essential condition of the educator. Innate to the condition is connectedness to context.
