History

The College of William & Mary School of Education was created as its own entity, separate from other educational facets at the College, in 1961. [http://education.wm.edu/about/history.php School of Education – History] . Retrieved on June 14, 2008.] Undergraduate education at the SOE is supplemented with graduate programs and degrees. The first doctoral degree from the SOE was awarded in 1972. Presently, the School offers a liberal arts education and seeks to fuse undergraduate and graduate learning together. Interestingly, the College is home to the first student teacher in America. In 1690, a teacher from Maryland sought assistance to improve his own teaching abilities and received help from a College instructor.
