Teacher Education

Where passion meets practice

At William & Mary, teaching begins with community. You’ll learn from faculty who are not only scholars, but seasoned K-12 educators who know what it takes to lead a classroom.

You’ll also learn by doing. From early practica to your student-teaching internship, our field experiences connect theory to real classrooms — helping you refine your skills and your teacher voice.

Rooted in research and grounded in practice, our programs prepare confident, conscientious educators ready to make a meaningful impact. Our graduates don’t just teach. They transform.

Detailed information about our teacher preparation program and field experiences can be found in the 2025-2026 Handbook for Teacher Candidate Clinical Experiences.
