Department of Teaching and Learning

OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Department of Teaching & Learning. We offer a wide range of majors and minors for aspiring teachers seeking a Bachelors or Masters degree in the field of education. Taught by a caring and culturally-responsive faculty, our education programs provide safe and effective learning environments in VSU's state of the art facilities, while also exposing students to professional teaching environments. We are proud to highlight our signature initiative, the "Hybrid Education Residency Opportunity" (H.E.R.O.) program, which gives future educators a real-world teaching experience in classrooms at community schools.

Our curriculums are designed to help graduates become licensed by the Virginia Department of Education. In addition, we also offer a non-licensed undergraduate program in community-based education that is designed to develop professionals to work in community-based settings that focus on children and youth, adults, and the elderly. Another aim of the community-based education program is to identify leaders for community-based agencies.
