A career in education leads to a lifetime of helping others to see
their potential for success. It is progressive and leads from
visionary classroom instruction to possible administrative work as a
department teacher leader, an assistant principal or principal, a
curriculum specialist, and much more. The opportunities are varied
and exciting.
Schreiner University offers an exemplary teacher education program
to prepare students as professional educators and includes training
in the following:
• Strategic and engaging pedagogy
• Special education and collaboration in an inclusive classroom
• ESL strategies and teaching for diversity in a multi-cultural
classroom
• Professional responsibilities and school community relations
• Teacher leadership and curriculum design
In today’s economy, Schreiner University education students have an
edge on the competition in several ways:

educational training through service learning classes that provide

and content knowledge. These classes allow teacher candidates to
take on the role of teacher early in the teacher education program
under the guidance of a experienced mentor.
2) Students who want to specialize in elementary education receive a
TEA recommended 15 hours in reading/literacy instruction, and
students who specialize in secondary focus on college and career
readiness standards and research based strategies for creating a
challenging and motivating learning environment.

Master of Education degree by adding just 3 semesters to their
academic career through our innovative Fifth Year Distinguished
