Luther College’s Education Department prepares competent, compassionate, and inquisitive teachers to work effectively in PK-12 schools. Our teachers demonstrate:

  • A command of theoretical knowledge about learning and human behavior
  • Mastery of the content matter and pedagogy
  • A repertoire of teaching competencies that facilitate the development of effective and reflective beginning teachers
  • The cultural competency necessary to teach in our global world

Elliott Johnson and Jeanie Lovell Secure Grant for SmartBoard

Thanks to a successful proposal written by Elliott Johnson, assistant professor of education, and Jeanie Lovell, senior director of foundation relations and strategic initiatives, Luther received a $10,000 grant from the Kinney-Lindstrom Foundation to purchase two new Smartboards for the Education Department. This new technology will be purchased this summer and used for courses as well as an expanded tutoring program for local K-12 students.
