Leadership
Bishop’s University’s graduating teachers are highly prized and sought out by school boards who know our reputation – built over the School of Education’s 117-year history – for preparing leaders with deep understandings of pedagogy, curriculum, and the skills to build student success.
Equity and social responsibility
Our program is built on the principles of equity and social responsibility and a commitment to the transformative power of teaching. We equip professionals with the thorough understanding and practical knowledge they need to change lives.
Research-based practice
We approach teaching as so much more than a job or a skill: we know it’s a vocation, an art, and a science based on ongoing research. We build your knowledge base in your teachable discipline, in child development, in curriculum and in the most current research and social issues.
