Teacher Education & Leadership
Teach with Purpose. Lead with Confidence.
The goals of the basic teacher education programs at the University of North Dakota are to enable the development of teachers who are committed to the continuing process of learning with an emphasis on learning to teach; who can take an active role in promoting the learning of students; and who can envision alternative solutions to the challenges posed in schools.
Our programs are fully approved by the North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board and accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP, formerly NCATE) since 1954.
