Welcome from Dr. Sue Van Wagner, Dean
Dr. Van Wagner's Biography  The mission of the Franks School of Education
is to provide an educational atmosphere in which every teacher
candidate is inspired to become a competent, knowledgeable, caring
educator who is firmly committed to nurturing the growth of young
student learners. Teacher education is hands-on at TSU. One-on-one
advising; accessible faculty; immediate, real-world application
of classroom concepts; and a reputation for graduating exceptional
educators are recognized hallmarks of the school.
All programs are accredited by the Indiana Professional Standards Board. (IPSB) Classes are small, interactive, and intimate, and are taught by faculty members who have extensive experience as elementary, middle school, or high school teachers. Teacher candidates participate in area schools beginning their first year, and continue frequent, ongoing classroom participation throughout all four years at TSU. Graduates from the Franks School of Edcuation have reputations that reflect they are well trained, caring, talented educators who are at home in diverse classroom settings. TSU teacher education candidates consistently earn passing scores on state-required exams. For the most recent Title II reporting year, all TSU program completers achieved 100 percent passing rates on both basic skills and content knowledge specialty tests. As a result of TSU's quality education program, area schools have consistent praise for TSU student teachers, and frequently seek out our well-prepared graduates. I invite you to plan a campus visit to learn more about the Franks School of Education. I look forward to personally meeting with you to discuss your goals for the future, and our mutual commitment to excellence in education, as well. Bachelor of Science Programs Lead to |
