Educator Preparation in West Virginia
The preparation of individuals to meet the
ever-increasing demands placed upon schools
to meet the needs of all children such that
“no child is left behind” is an
enormous task, one that
nineteen institutions of higher education
located in West Virginia have chosen to undertake.
The nineteen institutions
currently offer a variety of educator preparation
programs, approved by the West Virginia Board
of Education (WVBE), to a host of individuals
who desire to work in the nation’s classrooms.
These programs are designed to provide and
foster the knowledge, skills and dispositions
necessary for teachers, student support service
personnel and administrators to deliver services
(i.e., instructional, support) to students
at all grade levels (elementary, middle and
secondary).
Furthermore, programs are delivered at undergraduate
and/or graduate levels of education depending
upon the institution and/or the needs of the
individual
