{ Teacher Education Handbook }

This Handbook is designed to guide your passage through the teacher education program at Ripon College. It should be consulted for specific information about the educational studies major and minor, all teacher certification programs, clinical experiences and student teaching. In addition, the Handbook outlines the specific requirements students must meet to be approved for entry into the teacher education program, student teaching and certification. The Handbook should be used in conjunction with the College Catalog. These documents, along with the counsel of your advisers in educational studies and your content area major, will help you complete your teacher education program successfully.


We urge you to read the “Philosophy of Teacher Education” and “Teacher Education Program Principles and Objectives” which follow immediately in the Handbook. These are the broad organizers for all courses offered by the Educational Studies Department. They explain why certain knowledge, skills, abilities and dispositions are emphasized in the teacher education program at Ripon College. The philosophy statement, in particular, signals the type of teacher we hope you will become through your study and clinical experiences at Ripon College.


Finally, the educational studies faculty members are available to answer questions you may have about our program or to talk with you about career opportunities in teaching. Please call, e-mail or stop by to see one of us, even if you are not yet sure that you wish to pursue a teaching certificate through Ripon College. Faculty office numbers, phone numbers and e-mail addresses are listed below for your convenience.
