About Education Minor at UB

The Graduate School of Education (GSE) is committed to providing teacher education at the post-baccalaureate level. The Teacher Education Institute (TEI) is the branch of GSE responsible for the field experiences and student teaching required for New York State initial certification in early childhood, childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence education. Beyond providing professional knowledge and instructional strategies essential to teaching, TEI collaborates with local school districts and teachers to prepare students to be problem solvers, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners who strive to self-reflect, evaluate, and improve their teaching. In addition, the TEI program seeks to prepare teachers who can work effectively with students with a wide variety of abilities and needs, and students from various cultures.
