We offer accredited academic programs that prepare teachers to function effectively in early childhood and elementary school teaching positions.
For graduate students who are certified teachers, the department provides subject matter and pedagogical knowledge that will permit high levels of performance within school settings. The department also provides a way for academically competent and highly motivated college graduates who have a liberal arts background to enter the field of education.
RIC’s B.A. and B.S. programs in elementary education are considered a national model by literacy experts in preparing teachers for reading instruction.
Catherine and William Reyes hope to influence future generations through teaching.
