Livingstone College

Teacher candidates are geared up for LC on the Green in which various departments, programs, and majors set up recruitment tables to draw other students to their field and begin their first field observations. We also celebrate National Education Week in November with an assembly and luncheon.

Teacher candidates complete more clinical hours in the field with effective teachers. You will also engage with professional development opportunities, as well as field trips and guest speakers. Candidates who have passed Praxis I and joined SNCAE are inducted into our Teacher Education Program.

Livingstone's Teacher Education Preparation Program is partnered with the Rowan-Salisbury School System (RSSS), a flagship district in the use of technology. In addition to unlimited access to technology and 21st century instructional strategies using technology, RSSS also affords our teacher candidates with extensive professional development opportunities in areas related to curriculum and student needs, all aligned with the state standard courses of study. Our use of dispositions of teacher candidates, reports from the Field Director, Principal, and Cooperating Teacher help us to monitor and ensure growth in the deficient areas of our teacher candidates. Our advising body, the Teacher Education Council (TEC) consistently monitors and looks at the data for our program, as well, as a tool for improving and strengthening our efforts in supporting our teacher candidates.
