Teacher Education
In keeping with its origins as a teachers' college, Southern Connecticut State University remains a center for teacher education. It produces more teachers, principals, and school superintendents than any other Connecticut institution. The university received approval for its first doctoral program, an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. Southern is the only school in Connecticut to offer a master's degree concentration in autism spectrum disorders.

Famous quotes containing the words teacher and/or education:
“It is not only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?”
—Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)
“I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
