Fieldwork, which involves hands-on experience, is an integral part of the program. It is integrated into the coursework to provide you with a practical understanding of real classroom settings.

The Department of Teacher Education believes in supporting and teaching all students. While in your education program at Roberts Wesleyan University, you will learn content and skills to teach diverse student populations using research-driven strategies.

In addition to your program advisor, you will work with mentor teachers throughout your program. These mentors will provide targeted support and feedback based on their many years of experience.

Roberts Wesleyan partners with many local and regional school districts to:

• Provide classroom experiences
• Ensure that the programs at Roberts present content and coursework that fully prepares you for the classroom

Teaching programs are rooted in supporting diverse learners through:

• Universal Design for Learning
• Gradual Release of Responsibility
• Methods to support accessibility

The university elicits annual feedback from district partners to determine graduates' effectiveness and preparation.
