Renewing the Teacher Within

"It is worth acknowledging, in all humility, that, though there are many great, beautiful, noble callings for human beings – ministry, healing, protecting the powerless through the law, making art, music and literature, the most wonderful things that human beings are privileged to do – none of them is more valuable to the human race, to the future of the planet, or to our own souls, than the work of teaching."

Dr. Paul Lacey
Professor Emeritus of English

What our teachers are saying about the
M.Ed Program at Earlham College?

Karianne Polk-Meek

"The M.Ed. program at Earlham has given me a renewed focus and energy in my classroom. The curriculum addresses every aspect of teaching including the 'self' that many of us ignore. I look forward to my time at Earlham each week, appreciate its relevance to my classroom, and appreciate the camaraderie with fellow teachers."

Lois Brown

"What most of us in the teaching profession yearn for is discussion with other teaching professionals that tap into, perhaps alter, perhaps solidify, what we believe about children and how they learn. We want to be directed to professional literature that is thought provoking, practical, applicable and meaningful.The Earlham M.Ed. program has provided me multiple opportunities through projects, readings, reflections, Socratic Seminars, group work and peer observations to hone my craft."
