4 What are Centers for Educators? Centers for Educators have been bringing the University s high-quality graduate-level education and credential programs to Southern and Central California communities for nearly 40 years. The programs are usually offered at one of the University s regional campuses, but also are available at community colleges and K-12 classrooms in order to bring the classes closer to you. (See map for locations). Rather than coming to us, we come to you! This brochure describes the curriculum of the degrees and credentials available for you. These curricula meet the standards adopted by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), while including the unique characteristics of a University of La Verne degree. La Verne has developed a cadre of experienced educational leaders in each community to share in the teaching responsibilities, along with full-time faculty from the main campus in La Verne. We strive to develop humanistic educators who believe that every student can learn and excel if provided with the right learning environment. One of the goals of our program is to develop scholarly practitioners who will be the leaders in tomorrow s schools. La Verne s programs are cohort based (see map below). Once there is a sufficient number of students in a specific location, we start the program. We have found that cohort-based programs develop a culture of mutual support. We encourage this, as we know that adult learners face many demands on their time, from their jobs and their loved ones - children, parents, spouses, and friends. Although these demands won t go away, we find that most students complete their programs because of this supportive culture. Centers for Educators have created a variety of online services for the convenience of its students, but equally important is the individual attention provided to each student throughout his or her program. To start the enrollment process, see page 22 for instructions.

The College of Education & Organizational Leadership is nationally accredited by NCATE, the gold standard of accreditation in education. Our faculty and students are partners in learning.

On behalf of the faculty and staff, we hope you will investigate and discover the opportunities that await you at the University of La Verne s College of Education & Organizational Leadership. We know you will be impressed with the quality of our programs and our distinguished faculty. Dr. Barbara Poling Interim Dean College of Education & Organizational Leadership Why Attend an NCATE-Accredited School of Education? Professional accreditation of preparatory programs is the bedrock upon which all professions have built their reputations (e.g., architecture, engineering, medicine, law). It assures that those entering the respective field have been suitably prepared to practice in their profession through the assimilation of a body of knowledge and pre-service practice. When a school of education is NCATE accredited, it provides the assurance that the school s teacher preparation program has met national standards set by the teaching field at large, and has undergone rigorous external and impartial review by professionals, policymakers, and representatives of the public. NCATE s performance-based system of accreditation fosters the development of competent classroom teachers, specialists, and administrators who work to improve the education of all P 12 students and help all students. Graduates from an NCATE accredited teacher preparation program are in high demand because they are well-prepared for initial licensing and advanced board certification. Candidate performance at NCATE institutions is thoroughly assessed throughout the program of study, and before the candidate is recommended for licensure. Many states have reciprocity agreements based on graduation from NCATE accredited schools, so graduates of NCATEaccredited schools will generally find it easier to apply for licensure should they move out of state. Individuals applying to an NCATE-accredited school will have the assurance that the school s education programs have received the profession s seal of approval. 5
