ASU prides itself on its commitment  to students.  In keeping with that tradition, the faculty and staff of the English Education program take their responsibilities to provide engaged and individualized instruction seriously.  They are dedicated to a whole language theoretical approach to the Secondary Classroom, support collaborative rather than competitive learning, and view students as active participants in their own education.

The ASU English Education program considers how teachers teach to be every bit as important as what they teach.  An ability to reflect on practices as well as personal beliefs and presumptions about education is mandatory for today’s teacher.  Good teaching, like a life-long education, is never a finished product; it remains always an active, fluid process.

Be sure to contact an English Education advisor during your sophomore year to ensure a proper program of study leading to secondary licensure.  You may reach Dr. Elaine O'Quinn here.
