Department Mission Statement

Education Department @ AUNE

Teacher Education Programs

Creative. Engaging. Insightful. Since 1964, Antioch University New England has been a leader in progressive education. We believe in:

  • A celebration of childhood by teaching the whole child
  • A deep respect for each student’s strengths and needs
  • Advocacy for educational equity, social justice, and inclusive education
  • Developmentally appropriate teaching and assessment
  • Experiential, problem-based, inquiry-driven, real-world and place-based learning
  • Cooperation between teachers, students, parents, and communities to create inclusive schools
  • A commitment to teacher self-knowledge and reflection
  • An integrated curriculum that incorporates reading, arts, math, science, social studies, movement, and the natural world

We bring these same values to our graduate programs.  Experience progressive education for yourself in small classes that foster a collaborative learning environment and provide the opportunity for individual attention. Coursework is student-centered, problem-based, experiential, and hands-on. 

Programs in the department are carefully structured to accommodate the needs of the adult learner, understanding that many graduate students must balance their studies with family responsibilities and part-time or full-time work.  All of our programs are low residency or fully online.  

Join us and help make the world a more wondrous place for children.
