Â鶹´«Ã½

The Department of Teaching, Learning, and Literacy is committed to preparing Â鶹´«Ã½ educators to teach in an ever-evolving world.

We aim to:

• Prepare reflective, skilled, and equity-based educators at both the undergraduate and graduate levels
• Commit to the belief that education is transformative, empowering & that social justice can be best accomplished through an educated citizenry
• Inform educational theory and practice through research and experiential learning opportunities for students
• Dedicate our instruction to cultivate critical and analytical thinkers & problem-solvers who will work in school settings mostly focused on the urban student populations

In accordance with Â鶹´«Ã½ Department of Education guidelines, the Praxis CORE remains a licensure requirement for candidates who complete NJCU teacher education programs. The recent legislation involving the Praxis CORE does not apply to NJCU teacher education programs. NJCU offers traditional and alternate route programs that all require passing scores on the Praxis CORE.

Are you a first generation student? Did you know that NJCU offers resources to ensure a successful college experience?
