Program Mission

The Single Subject program prepares teachers to become leaders in transformative education, an evolutionary change process by which schooling practices become increasingly effective in promoting learning in urban settings. Inquiry and reflective practice are the foundations of the transformative process, which allows teachers to evaluate current school practices and imagine teaching and learning in new ways.

Our goal is to educate teachers who can, in turn, assist their students in developing to their full potential and becoming reflective, contributing members of local, regional, and global communities.
