Peace College Prepares New Generation of Teachers

Peace College and the Wake County Public School System have worked together since the fall of 2004 to design a program to recruit and develop prospective teachers who will be equipped to become effective career teachers and teacher leaders.

WCPSS Assistant Superintendent Maurice Boswell says this program offers both degree-seeking and licensure-only options for those who want to become teachers, preparing teacher candidates for licensure in both Elementary Education K-6 and Special Education: General Curriculum K-12.

Peace College President Laura Bingham says the partnership between the college and the school system offers a high quality teacher education program that is meeting needs in critical areas.

WCPSS administrator Carolann Wade, who is on-loan to Peace College as liaison between the school system and college, teaches methods courses and supervises teacher candidates during field experiences.
