Faculty
The faculty and staff of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University Education Department are committed to developing teacher candidates who, according to the “Teacher as Reflective Decision Maker” conceptual framework, will make professional decisions that help all students achieve their full potential as persons and as responsible world citizens in a democratic society. This commitment is supported by our departmental philosophy and mission statement.
