The College of William & Mary School of Education is a program offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels of study at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. It accounts for one-third of all master’s degrees and over one-half of all doctoral degrees at The College.[1] Professional education programs are accredited by the Virginia Department of Education, and the School of Education itself is accredited by NCATE.[2] The School of Education was ranked among the top 50 nationally in a survey of doctoral degree granting schools of education by U.S. News & World Report's Best Graduate Schools Guide 2007 edition.[3] It also utilizes its own library, the School of Education Library.
History
Although the College has a long history of providing teacher education, even effectively hosting the first student teacher in America when a Maryland teacher in 1690 received mentoring from a College instructor in improving his own teaching, The College of William & Mary School of Education did not become a distinct entity until 1961.[4] 11 years after its separation, the SOE awarded its first doctoral degree.[4] Presently, the School offers a liberal arts education and seeks to fuse undergraduate and graduate learning together.
