CSU San Marcos

In CSU San Marcos’ School of Education, faculty and staff are united by a common purpose of preparing the best teachers and school leaders for the nation’s schools. The School of Education faculty pride themselves, and are distinctive in their commitment to educational equity, the pursuit of socially just outcomes, and an overall focus on providing educational opportunities for all students, especially those from underrepresented groups. Signature programs are specially designed to reach English learners and children with special needs. These approaches reflect responsiveness to the demographic shifts of the region and state

The CSU San Marcos School of Education prepares P-12 (pre-kindergarten through grade 12) educators to work effectively with a diverse group of students in elementary, middle, and high school environments through preliminary Multiple-Subject and Single-Subject credential programs. In addition, specialized training is offered in the areas of literacy, special education, administrative services, and bilingual education. In the state of California, all initial programs require completion of a baccalaureate degree, thus allowing candidates multiple opportunities to develop pedagogical knowledge and skills. The School of Education faculty have found that their curriculum framework, faculty expertise, and commitment to transforming education results in the preparation of outstanding teachers and other school professionals.
