We use a constructivist approach to the development of new teachers for pluralistic classrooms reflective of California's diverse student population. We take pride in our emphasis on preparing teachers to meet the language learning needs of students for whom English is a second language. The word coming so close upon the sensation of cold water rushing over her hand seemed to startle her.
All students here receive a high quality education.
Credential students are empowered to become the best educators possible. Each of us is recognized as a unique individual and all of the professors have made a commitment to giving us their personal best. As we enter a new millennium, California's schools face two realities. First, the student population is becoming increasingly diverse linguistically and culturally. Consequently, public schools must bring children together from their various backgrounds to discover their emerging role in our pluralistic social and political democracy.
