The Department of Education is a cohesive unit of professionals dedicated to preparing students for the advancement of careers in education. In collaboration with the liberal arts sector of the division and the college's three additional academic divisions, the department believes that it can produce persons who are committed to the education of all students, advance their chosen profession, and serve as mentors in the educational arena.
The Department of Education at Saint Augustine's College prepares future teachers utilizing a conceptual framework that is based upon the concept of mentoring. The conceptual framework, "Teacher as Mentor," embraces the basic assumption that the primary role of a teacher is to serve as a mentor/guide of the learning process.
