The Educator Preparation Program Council is the body that is responsible for teacher education at Shepherd University. The Educator Preparation Program Council (EPPC) is chaired by the director of teacher education and is composed of the specialization coordinators from each specialization, all members of the Department of Education, and two elected teacher candidates. In this way, the EPPC exemplifies how faculty from the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences share responsibility and authority with the faculty from education in determining what is important in teacher education. The EPPC, through bi-monthly meetings, administers, coordinates, evaluates, monitors, reviews, and revises the Teacher Education Program at Shepherd University. The EPPC has the responsibility to ensure that all specializations are conducted in a manner that is consistent with the stated philosophy, theme, and objectives of the teacher education program.

ADJUNCT FACULTY
The Teacher Education Program relies on capable and committed part-time faculty members to supplement the work of the full-time faculty. Adjunct faculty are made aware of the teacher education program’s philosophy and theme and its implications for teaching and supervision. This is to ensure that our program objectives are consistently addressed in all phases of the teacher education experience at Shepherd University.
