University of Houston’s College of Education provides an urban setting which encourages students to value diversity, while meeting the needs of increasingly diverse classrooms.
Education majors study how adults and children learn, how best to communicate with them at different points during their development, and how best to teach them.
Courses often cover topics such as educational psychology, human growth and development, school health and safety issues, and classroom management.
A degree in Education will help develop a student’s natural talents into skills that every teacher needs, such as how to design and teach inspiring lessons, and helping students succeed no matter what their age, background, or learning style may be.
“Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself”—John Dewey

“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.” —John Steinbeck
Teachers with 10 or fewer years of experience now constitute over 52 percent of the United States teaching force.
 91 percent of teachers agree that “ successful completion of a teacher preparation program ” and “ evaluation by an administrator that includes direct classroom observation ” would be good measurements to use in determining teacher qualification.
 Students who have highly effective teachers three years in a row score as much as 50 percentile points higher on achievement tests than those who have infective teachers for three years in a row
