CMC helped me find my way by giving me confidence. And I would encourage others to choose CMC, particularly for non-traditional students that might be a little apprehensive about returning to the classroom.

Program Info

The Teacher Education Program at Colorado Mountain College prepares teachers to succeed in a rapidly evolving world with diverse populations, ever-increasing needs for effective education, and changing social and economic contexts. Excellent teacher preparation requires clinical training that interweaves theory, practice, depth and breadth of training, close partnerships with school districts, and a solid knowledge base for professional best practice.
