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)
“From infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal; therefore her training and education must be directed toward that end. Like the mute beast fattened for slaughter, she is prepared for that.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
