Education
Being an educator is the perfect way to make a difference in someone's life. At Molloy College we respect that time-honored tradition and are extremely proud of our education department. We will inspire you, reaffirm your commitment to teach and prepare you to enter the classroom as a skilled educator.
Our education department develops your competency in content knowledge, preparation, instructional delivery, classroom management, student development and assessment, collaboration and reflective and responsive practice. We will fire up your passion for teaching. We are proud to say that Molloy College teachers are characterized by their depth and breadth of knowledge in the academic content areas and in professional education. In short - we educate some of the finest educators.
Education is a multi-dimensional profession, so to help you better understand the challenges of the contemporary classroom, we will guide you through the philosophical, historical and sociological foundations of education. These ABC's of education will form a strong knowledge base that will serve you well throughout your teaching career.
