The ASU College of Teacher Education and Leadership offers both campus-based and school district-based teacher education programs.  Both types of programming are high quality and give you flexible options.

What is a “school district-based” teacher education program?

A school district-based teacher education program is a program that is fully delivered in a partner school district. ASU goes to the community; students go to a partner district (not an ASU campus) to take classes and complete the program.

What are the benefits of the school district-based teacher education program?

In addition to possibly being closer and allowing you to avoid campus parking fees, the school district-based teacher education programs:

  • Immerse you in the real world of kids, teachers, and teaching with extensive and practical classroom teaching experiences and feedback
  • Provide you a highly personalized educational experience with a small group of students who are together throughout the entire teacher education program and a lead professor/coordinator who provides the attention, support, and guidance needed to prepare you as an excellent new teacher
  • Research shows that new teachers prepared in the school district-based teacher education programs are highly confident and are able to deliver excellent teaching results even in their first year
  • Program options for the school district-based teacher education programs
