Why Choose UC Davis?
Our teacher education preparation is characterized by excellent faculty who help students bridge research and practice and small cohorts of students prepared to be leaders among their peers. In fact, the program's culture is one that encourages close interactions between each teacher candidate and teacher education faculty, as well as among the teacher candidates of each year's class. Additional coursework leading to the Master's degree introduces the integration of classroom inquiry into teaching practice, making teachers more informed and pro-active practitioners.
Here's what some of our recent alumni have to say about the program's strenghts:
