The Department of Teaching and Learning offers undergraduate teacher preparation programs in early childhood education (grades P-5); middle grades education (grades 4-8); special education (P-12); and the P-12 teaching field in health and physical education.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) program offers secondary and P-12 teacher preparation in the fields of biology, business, chemistry, English, family and consumer sciences, history, geography, geology, mathematics, physics, political science, and Spanish, as well as middle grades and special education. The Master of Education (M.Ed.) programs offer advanced preparation in accomplished teaching, and in teaching and learning with concentrations in early childhood education; instructional improvement; middle grades education; special education; and secondary education in the fields of science, social science, English, mathematics, technology, and business. The department also offers an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Teaching and Learning.

In addition to degree programs, the department offers endorsements in Early Childhood Math and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).

The programs are based upon the concept of developmentally appropriate practices and a value of diverse, intensive field experiences in a range of grade levels and school settings.
