Teaching and Learning Major

Bachelor of Arts in Teaching and Learning

The Bachelor of Arts in Teaching and Learning program is available to those who do not desire to obtain a professional teaching license but aim to work with — or on behalf of — children or youth as part of their professional career. It is also available to students who complete 1-2 years in one of the School of Education licensure programs but then decide that a licensure program does not meet their professional goals. This non-licensure program provides an option for these students to stay within the domain of education.

Teaching and Learning Program graduates earn a bachelor's degree in Teaching and Learning, a minor in an approved CCU program, and a CCU area of emphasis in Biblical Studies. Students will receive supervised clinical practice experiences in a variety of school settings.

Teaching and Learning at CCU

At CCU, we see education and teaching as imperative to impacting the world for Christ — and opportunities to do so are everywhere. If you have the ability to clearly explain complex topics as well as inspire others to think bigger than themselves, then this program is an opportunity for you to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for a professional, education-related career in diverse vocational settings.

Dr. Priscilla Wright

Professor of Education

As the faculty educates future teachers, much stress is placed upon how to be a Christian in the public school system in America, and the concept of servant leadership. Dr. Priscilla Wright teaches her CCU students that to be a Christian in the public school system is a powerful and needed witness to the children of today's world.

Dr. Debora Scheffel

Dean and Professor of Education

An individual may have a formal education but lack deeper understanding of the meaning of knowledge, and thus neglect the larger metaphysical questions that render knowledge relevant to life's ultimate questions. Dr. Debora Scheffel seeks to continue to develop a philosophy of education consistent with faith that informs decision making in academia, education policy work, and education practice.

Tamara Bultje

Associate Professor of Education, Teacher Practicum Coordinator

Biblical integration and building Christian worldview are two opportunities afforded educators and students at Colorado Christian University. Preparing young people with a strong academic foundation and the ability to lovingly reach out to a hurting world is a daunting and profound privilege.
