Education Department Mission Statement: “The Bridgewater College Teacher Education Program (BC­TEP) seeks to prepare competent, caring and highly qualified teachers. In support of the Bridgewater College mission, we endeavor to educate students who will be equipped to become leaders, who live ethical, healthy, useful, and fulfilling lives with a strong sense of personal and civic responsibility. We provide a curriculum in which future educators are given opportunities to develop the necessary professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions in content, communication, management, assessment, and pedagogy, each encompassing technology and student diversity. Field experiences allow students to apply reflective practice, analyzing pedagogical theory and strategies. The BC­TEP provides a foundation for learning that instills in our graduates the desire to become lifelong learners and instructional leaders.” (revised June 2012)
Bridgewater students should be competent Users, Integrators, and Producers of educational technology. (TEP Technology Plan)
