You can transform lives as a
teacher. In Butler's College of Education, you'll
collaborate with dynamic, caring and energetic people to transform
K-12
education as well.
We are the only program in Indiana that has early-middle
childhood majors teach for an entire
year, in two different settings. You'll
observe in real classrooms as a freshman. Your professors are
there with you, explaining teaching practices. This means no
surprises when you walk into your first classroom assignment.
Experience diverse educational models - urban, suburban,
Montessori, charter, magnets and a new Reggio-inspired
laboratory school - thanks to Butler's metropolitan
location and partnerships with local schools. You can even student
teach abroad.
You'll find lifelong mentors in our knowledgeable, mostly
tenure-track faculty. They know their students well
and can honestly assess your strengths and potential for future
employers.
Principals seek out Butler-prepared teachers, saying our
graduates know theory, research and practice better than most other
candidates. Nearly 100 percent of recent graduates are working in
education or pursuing advanced degrees.
