Description

The Professional Education Preparation Program at New England College provides a strong academic and practical educational foundation through experiences, both in the college classroom and in the K-12 field.  Students are connected to the world of teacher education through coursework that blends together research-based best practices, application to the field, hands on experiences, and values embedded in social justice.  During their time at NEC, students are provided a variety of opportunities to collaborate with their peers, faculty members, and practicing professionals in the K-12 environment.  An emphasis on evaluating and synthesizing current educational practices and relevant pedagogy is woven throughout their time here.
