On the leading edge of teacher training, Pacific Oaks College offers teacher credentialing programs that prepare students to think critically about diversity, culture and power in the classroom; understand that learning is a social, cultural and cognitive process; and apply effective, pioneering approaches to helping students with diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and ability to uncover and realize their unique potential. Curriculum is based on the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPE’s) required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC).

Students report that attending Pacific Oaks College is a transforming experience, enabling them to emerge empowered, stand up for themselves and others and help those they serve become all they can be.
