Education
At the Tulane School of Professional Advancement (Tulane SoPA), we equip prospective teachers and education leaders with the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise to uplift and inspire new generations of learners — whether in a traditional classroom or beyond. Our Education program combines hands-on coursework and focused field experience to ensure new teachers entering the classroom are prepared to make an immediate impact, while experienced teachers are prepared to lead and mentor others.
A hallmark of effective education leadership is a strong commitment to continuous improvement, whether through self-reflection or on-going professional learning. Tulane SoPA candidates seek to be catalysts for social change and innovative leadership, teaching, and improving the lives of students.
