Teacher Education Multiple/Single Subject Supervisor

Department Summary

At this point in history as intersecting crises of racial, economic, health, and environmental justice buffet our lives and communities and exacerbate inequalities in educational and other institutions, the San Jose State University (SJSU) Teacher Education Department (TED) finds itself in a moment of transformational change.

In alignment with the SJSU Strategic Plan, Transformation 2030, the Lurie College of Education (LCOE) Strategic Plan, and the TED vision and mission, we seek to reimagine PK-12 teacher education by centering the assets of students who are diverse in terms of ethnicity / race, language, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, neurology, creed, and other intersectional characteristics of identity.

While centering students' intersectional identities as assets, we simultaneously seek to partner with other LCOE and SJSU departments and programs, community colleges, PK-12 districts and schools, and community organizations to create anti-racist, culturally sustaining, and emancipatory education structures for students and pathways for educators.

We aim to transform the local teaching force so that it better reflects the students we serve.

As one of the most well-established public teacher preparatory schools in California, the Department of Teacher Education at the SJSU Lurie College of Education is committed to preparing highly qualified candidates who prioritize emancipatory practices, contribute to developing social and cultural literacy, provide education that promotes democracy, support social-emotional development, and build content knowledge expertise among all students.

The program, which also grants a Master's degree in Teaching (MAT), operates on a year-round schedule. Candidates can begin in Summer, Fall, or Spring semesters.

San Jose State is a Minority Serving Institution, and placements are in urban, rural, and suburban schools.
