Teacher Education at UC Davis: Guiding Principles
At UC Davis, we prepare teachers to be advocates for effective education for all California’s children. Our students focus on teaching practice guided by inquiry, reflection, and collaboration, and our focus on discipline-specific coursework on teaching and learning sets us apart.
Student teaching placements in the region’s most ethnically and linguistically diverse K-12 classrooms support our emphasis on effective teaching practice for English Language Learners.
The integration of a credential and MA prepares our graduates to focus on classroom teaching and student achievement. They enter the profession armed with knowledge of the best classroom practices and an understanding of how to conduct research to improve their practices and improve student achievement. They enter the profession as leaders among their peers.
