Secondary Education

We believe in a public education that advocates for learners of all backgrounds and works towards a just society. Our commitment is to engage our students in critical practice and reflection and develop habits of mind to transform teaching and learning.

Welcome to the Kutztown University Department of Secondary Education website! Here you'll find information about the undergraduate and graduate programs we offer, information about our faculty, student resources, and more. If you have any questions, please contact our department chair Dr. Mark Wolfmeyer or our department office at secondaryeducation@kutztown.edu.

Teacher Education programs at Kutztown University are fully accredited by the State of Pennsylvania through the Pennsylvania Department of Education and are nationally accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
