History

Although the College has a long history of providing teacher education, even effectively hosting the first student teacher in America when a Maryland teacher in 1690 received mentoring from a College instructor in improving his own teaching, The College of William & Mary School of Education did not become a distinct entity until 1961.[4] 11 years after its separation, the SOE awarded its first doctoral degree.[4] Presently, the School offers a liberal arts education and seeks to fuse undergraduate and graduate learning together.
