Mission Statement
The mission statement of the Education Unit states:
Marygrove’s goals of competence, compassion, and commitment are also the requisite attributes of an effective teacher. The education programs seek to combine technical skill and knowledge with guided experiences that, together, will foster these goals and those of educational professionalism. Additionally, we challenge students to be self-directed learners, to adapt to change, and to foster understanding of and sensitivity to issues of diversity. Students are invited to use their deepening understanding of themselves as learners and as future teachers to share their insights with each other and with the faculty in order that we all may grow.

The Marygrove College Education Unit: Conceptual Framework
Marygrove’s education programs range from Early Childhood Education through Adult Learning. Our goal is to prepare compassionate, reflective teachers who are academically, socially, and technically competent to communicate with all learners in a diverse world.
