Developmental Teacher Education
The Developmental Teacher Education Program (DTE) is based on the premise that the quality of classroom learning is substantially improved when teachers understand children's cognitive and social/emotional development. DTE provides intensive study of the interplay between developmental theories and educational practice through coursework and student teaching in urban contexts. Students and program faculty interact to increase our ability to design an academically challenging, equitable and socially just curriculum for children from many backgrounds. One of the ways in which this ability is developed is through the arts.Volunteer or paid experience with elementary school age children, preferably in public school settings, is expected of all applicants. Although the DTE program draws heavily on psychological theory and research, students from all undergraduate backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
