Overview

The mission of the Department of Education is to prepare professional K-12 teachers who are academically well-grounded in both their subject matter and pedagogy, and to enable experienced educators to update their knowledge and skills.

Academic training offered by the department puts equal emphasis on theory and practice, classroom management, instructional strategies, and technology.  Students have a rich and diverse background across several disciplines, such as humanities, social sciences, language ability, and written and oral communication skills, and they graduate with a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that are unmatched in the Arab region.
