Touch the Future...Be an Educator

The teaching profession has always called for men and women with energy, commitment, creativity, and concern for others. Future teachers also will need other skills - such as the ability to put the Internet and other technologies to use in the classroom.

With its field-based program in community schools and its curricular emphasis on such themes as service to others and information technologies, Saint Louis University's department of educational studies is an ideal training ground for teachers who will lead the profession.

Our faculty members take a genuine interest in students, serve as strong role models of success and acquaint students with the challenges and joys of the profession. We seek an appropriate balance between theory and practice, between action and reflection, between intellect and affect, and between decisive conviction and open curiosity. If you are interested in becoming a teacher in a classroom or corporate setting, or becoming a better teacher, we need you in the teaching profession.
