Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini said, "It is in your hands [the teachers’] to form new generations, to lead them in the right direction, to instill into them those principles which are the seeds of good works."
In this light, the Cabrini College teacher education programs provide the knowledge and skills necessary to deal with children from all walks of life and encourage the development of a philosophy of education consistent with American democratic ideals and traditions.
Field Experience and Student Teaching
Beginning with the sophomore year, students in the majors leading to certification participate in full-day field experiences in local schools each week. A fee will be assessed to those students requiring transportation to field sites.
Seniors must arrange their own transportation during their student teaching or internship semester.
Master of Education Degree
Cabrini's M.Ed. degree may be combined with teacher certification in elementary, early childhood, special, or secondary education. The College also offers reading specialist certification for K-12. The program, approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, offers required and elected courses in education.
Persons interested in post-secondary work in education, including teacher certification, should be aware that certifications are offered on the undergraduate and graduate levels. For additional information or a Graduate Catalog, contact the College's Office of Graduate and Professional Studies.
