Emmanuel’s School of Education trains students in current theory and research-based practice in the design, delivery, and management of curriculum and instruction, from the exploration of access and equity in the history of American education to in-class instruction and site placements. Using Boston as an extended classroom, students explore a variety of learning styles and instructional methods to meet the needs of all students.
