2 Our caring, expert faculty members will Teaching is a calling, not a job. My instructors helped me wrestle with this call, and gave me the tools to fulfill it, preparing me for influencing students in a variety of contexts and a constantly evolving school system. I was encouraged not only in my teaching career but in my relationship with Christ. Biola s School of Education is more than a selection of programs; it is a training ground to fulfill God s call to teach. EQUIP YOU TO MODEL THE LOVE OF CHRIST to your students and colleagues. AMY ATKINSON (B.A. 11, MULTIPLE & SINGLE SUBJECT CREDENTIALS 12, M.A.T. 16)

More importantly, they made sure I was equipped to teach, model and share the love of Christ in deed and truth with all my student and colleagues. CREDENTIALS UNITS EDUCATION.BIOLA.EDU/CREDENTIALS Whether you are still preparing to enter the teaching field, or already have vast experience in the classroom, Biola s School of Education enables you to earn your credential alongside peers who have a heart for excellence, compassion and care of students. Our Teacher Preparation Program is authorized by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to provide the Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential, Preliminary Single Subject Credential, Education Preliminary Specialist Credential (Mild / Moderate) and Clear Credential. CHILD DEVELOPMENT PERMITS 6-18 UNITS EDUCATION.BIOLA.EDU/PERMITS Our Early Childhood Education Program offers state-approved coursework required for five of California s Child Development Permits: Assistant Permit, Associate Teacher Permit, Teacher Permit, Master Teacher Permit and Site Supervisor Permit. Teaching children at the infant, toddler and early elementary-age levels ensures a rewarding career, as early childhood educators shape the pathways on which these students will progress for the remainder of their academic career. During this foundational time in children s lives, teachers need the know-how to help them succeed through balancing play, learning and socialization. CERTIFICATES 12 UNITS EDUCATION.BIOLA.EDU/CERTIFICATES JOANNA FULLER (B.A. 10, MUTIPLE AND SINGLE SUBJECT CREDENTIALS 10) For some educators, another degree program is not the right course of action. That s why we have created institution-sponsored certificate programs in Curriculum & Instruction and Special Education to show your expertise through an intentional path of coursework.

5 Clear and wise thinking about educational policy is increasingly important as it gains salience in the public square. Without such thinking, Christians will be unfit to be the life-giving influence that they are called to be. Biola has given me the mindset, opportunities and equipping to do just that to think clearly and wisely and to love the truth that sets individuals and societies free.
