Welcome to the School of Education

The teacher education preparation program at Spring Arbor University has been recognized since the inception of the teacher preparation institute (TPI) assessment in 2007 by the State of Michigan as being an exemplary program as measured by specific assessment indicators. This speaks well and appropriately for the program but does not fully speak to the level of commitment and sense of mission that our faculty, staff and students share. We believe that becoming a teacher is more than a profession, but is a higher calling. Therefore, the foundation for every facet of the School of Education is our faith and commitment to serving our students well so that they can go into the world and serve their students well. Because of this commitment, our faculty and staff seek opportunities to build relationships with our students so that individual attention becomes the manner through which we model faithful excellence in every area of our profession.

Sincerely,

Linda Sherrill
Dean, School of Education
