who model reflective, innovative behavior while demonstrating love and enthusiasm for life-long learning.\u00a0 The Teacher Education and Certification Program at Ramapo College seeks to ensure that teachers are prepared to communicate effectively, establish productive relationships, and respond to the needs of individual learners, the teaching profession, and the greater community in a fair, equitable manner.\u00a0 Finally, our program emphasizes the needs of a democratic society.\u00a0 We are preparing teachers to be leaders in the effort to make the world a safer, more compassionate, and more productive place where respect for all life, for our environment, and for the dignity and diversity of all people will be common priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Summaries of the Teacher Education and
