Teachers for a New Era

Boston College

Boston College’s university-wide commitment to teacher education is strengthened by participation in the Carnegie Corporation’s Teachers for a New Era (TNE) initiative. As one of eleven TNE institutions preparing, assessing, and supporting the teachers of tomorrow, Boston College is working to improve teacher preparation and P-12 pupil learning through continued collaboration among Education and Arts & Sciences faculty and Boston-area school-based professionals. Boston College’s extensive liberal arts core curriculum and social justice vision enhance opportunities available to teacher candidates and practicing teachers ensuring that the future generation of teachers will be both broadly educated and professionally competent.
