Center for Professional Practice

Mission

The mission of teacher education at Towson University is to inspire, educate, and prepare teachers as facilitators of active learning for diverse and inclusive populations in environments that are technologically advanced.

The Center for Professional Practice strives to place interns into schools that help prepare our students to become outstanding teachers who care deeply about the academic achievement of all children.

Towson's Teacher Education programs are approved by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Maryland State Departmentof Education, which use state and nationally recognized standards. Completion of this approved program qualifies graduates for certification in all states that are members of the Interstate Reciprocity Contract. Applicants for Maryland teaching certificates are required to achieve qualifying scores on the Praxis I and II examinations, as determined by the Maryland State Board of Education.
