English Education

The Secondary English Education Program develops outstanding English teachers who prepare their students to become confident, capable and critical participants in communities of readers and writers.
As we introduce a broad range of scholarship and instructional practices in the field of English education, we also guide candidates through assignments and projects that require reflective application of theories and methods within the practical realities of urban secondary schools.

These ‘realities’ are marked by culturally, linguistically, socio-economically, and developmentally diverse school populations. Another focus of our program then is to understand the varied strengths of diverse learners and how they can best be used to promote literacy development and positive engagement with literature.
