Guide to the Papers of the Division of Education

History of the Division of Education

Walsh University developed their Education program early on in the 1960s as a program for future and current teachers who wanted to continue their education. Walsh University considers their program to be unique because of the:

- Three-Tiered Approach. We built our program around three important principles: Judeo-Christian ideals, service learning, and respect for diversity.

- National Accreditation. Walsh's Teacher Preparation Program is accredited by the National Council of Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCATE). Each licensure program also is nationally accredited by its Specialized Professional Association (SPA), which creates teaching standards for specific content areas and grade levels.

- More Classroom Experience. Structured field and technology experiences, beginning with the first education course, get our students in the classroom faster for experiential learning.

- Student Teaching. Our seniors stay in the same school system for both their pre-clinical and clinical experiences.

- Responsible Best Practices. Students are exposed to a variety of teaching models, curriculum designs and diverse communities. This gives them a "toolbox" of best practice strategies they can draw from as a professional and allows them find solutions that are best suited for a particular setting and/or student.

- Preparation for the Future. To provide our students with opportunities for service learning and field experience, we partner with community schools and programs. All of these experiences help build the knowledge and skills that students need as professionals in today's educational workforce. It also prepares them for Ohio's Resident Educator license exam.
