Your Rewarding Career Begins Here!
Teaching provides so many rewards on so many levels. Teachers are always in demand, so good teachers always have good career options. Plus there are the emotional and intellectual rewards of helping a student become a better person: smarter, more confident and more able to engage in our world.
At the UCR School of Education, our Teacher Education Program (TEP) will also inspire you to become an agent of change, committed to educational justice. We cultivate teachers who ignite change within our schools and communities.
Our goals are simple
- Prepare equity-minded, well-rounded teachers who address the needs of all students in culturally responsive ways.
- Train aspiring teachers to serve schools through social and restorative justice oriented, community engaged frameworks.
- Foster sustained engagement in teaching.
- Experience hands-on training and mentorship with faculty.
- Study at either our main campus in Riverside or our UCR Palm Desert campus.
The SOE difference
- The School of Education TEP challenges you to make a difference in the world – to make each classroom transformational in the mind and heart of every student.
- We also use a cohort model that allows students to forge lasting relationships and partnerships that will push their scholarship and advance their educational experiences.
- SOE students learn to become culturally responsive: dedicated to address diversity in culturally responsive ways.
- Our focus is on the whole student: academic, intellectual, emotional AND financial. We will assist students with financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships and student loans.

“The classes in the TEP are engaging, the professors are supportive and understanding, and the students are supporting and they love learning."
