The Department of Teacher Education is unique in its emphasis on excellence and innovation. We don’t just want to graduate teachers; we aim to produce the best teachers. We are constantly on the move, striving to better our instruction, internships and technology to produce graduates who are passionate and highly effective educators. The focus of Teacher Education at Newberry College is on teaching ... and we do it well! We are passionate about what happens in our classrooms and we love working with the diverse group of students who choose Newberry College.
The new Center for Teacher Education opened in fall semester 2016, serving as an innovative and interactive space for training teacher candidates and for offering professional development for in-service teachers through the RETAIN Center of Excellence. Not only will the new facility allow Newberry College students to learn and collaborate more effectively, the department will work closely with school districts and community leaders to be the catalyst for innovation and change on both the local and state educational landscapes.
