The Education Program at Centre College is small in relation to the number of students certified. However, this small number of students receives a personalized education. The liberal arts preparation provides a strong academic background for education students; the small program size ensures close faculty-student relationships. Faculty have detailed knowledge of individual students and their progress. The professor who teaches an education class also serves as an academic advisor to students and supervises their student teaching experience.
Graduates of the Centre College Education Program are knowledgeable, competent, caring and flexible. They often become leaders in education. In addition to principals and superintendents, some graduates are skilled teachers who excel at the local level. Awards bestowed on Centre graduates include two Sallie Mae awards and the 2000 Kentucky Teacher of the Year. During the March 2003 accreditation visit the state Board of Examiners team determined that Centre¹s Education Program met the six NCATE standards.
