The year 2008 is an exciting one for the Education Department. Currently the Teacher Education Program is being transformed from a 4th-year to 5th-year program. By Fall 2009, the new licensure program will be phased in providing a high-quality model for teaching based on what makes Warren Wilson College a special place. Although still in planning stages, the program is expected to be a focused professional year completed in addition to a bachelor’s degree earned at Warren Wilson College or elsewhere. The Teacher Education Program will continue to partner with local educators and will be able to provide more intensive real-school experiences to future teachers. The new program will prepare knowledgeable and skilled K-12 teachers through experiential education based on academic disciplines, work, service-learning, global awareness, and environmental stewardship.
