Education Department Mission Statement
Simpson College nurtures and prepares highly effective teachers who are competent, caring, and reflective.
Simpson College's education department has a reputation for developing quality teachers who make a positive impact as leaders in their classrooms and communities.
The education department is continually praised for being a "practitioner-based" program. At Simpson, professional field experience is integrated into many courses throughout the program. Simpson's unique location allows students to gain authentic experience in all types of school settings -- urban, suburban and rural schools -- with diverse student populations.
Simpson offers classes required for early childhood, elementary and secondary education licensure, as well as endorsements in more than 30 areas.
"Simpson has helped me fill my ‘teaching tool belt' and I can stand with all of the confidence in the world knowing I have been prepared for my career by the best professors and with the best materials. I will be leaving with the best Simpson education."
Dana Earles '08, Teacher at the Downtown School in Des Moines
