College of Education believes that outstanding teaching involves a lifelong commitment and practice of active learning, a practice governed by a nurturing character, reflective inquiry, differentiated instruction, and action research. We believe that educators who are actively engaged in learning in the teacher preparation program will actively engage their students. The teacher must be a learner and a researcher, engaging students in learning. We want our teachers and teacher training trainees at Debre Berhan University, as well as our stakeholders, to change the way students think and respond to learning. Talented teachers exhibit mastery of their content and professional knowledge and demonstrate the ability to use these knowledge bases as the underpinning for designing innovative instruction and active learning opportunities for diverse students.

The College of Education (COE) at the University of Debre Berhan, envisions a state and nation where every individual has equal access to life-long learning and opportunities for healthy development and where each person’s distinct abilities are cultivated from potential to achievement. We bring to this vision a dedicated and highly-regarded faculty, staff, and student, committed to equity and social justice, who encirclement diversity and community as central to the process and outcomes of education, and who seek and bring research-based innovation to our most intractable educational problems.

The mission of the college of education is to make capable teachers who reveal in-depth and wide content knowledge, cultural competence and sensitivity as well as a collection of effective pedagogical skills that have been improved through rigorous classroom and field-based involvements, and to facilitate successful learning outcomes in diverse environments.
