The Department of Teaching, Learning, and Literacy is committed to preparing New Jersey 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 New Jersey Department of Education guidelines, the Praxis CORE remains a licensure requirement for candidates who complete Ò°»¨ÉçÇø teacher education programs. The recent legislation involving the Praxis CORE does not apply to Ò°»¨ÉçÇø teacher education programs. Ò°»¨ÉçÇø offers traditional and alternate route programs that all require passing scores on the Praxis CORE.
