The Teacher Education department at United Tribes Technical College includes an AAS degree in Elementary Education, an AAS degree in Early Childhood Education and a BS degree in Elementary Education. Both of the AAS degrees are available entirely online and are accredited for online delivery.

The Teacher Education unit, and the Elementary Education bachelor degree program, were approved by the North Dakota Education Standards & Practices Board in spring 2011. Shortly thereafter, the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges (NCA) granted UTTC approval to offer its first three bachelor degrees, including the Elementary Education degree.

In addtion to the Elementary Education BS degree, we offer 300-400 level coursework that fulfills the requirement for an endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education through the state of North Dakota. Coursework for a Middle School Endorsement is being planned for the near future as well as a BS degree in Special Education. We are continually growing and moving forward.

To date, our graduates have been highly successful. Nearly 100% of our teacher candidates have passed the Praxis I: PPST and Praxis II exams. Our graduates are hired in tribal, public and private institutions throughout the country. For more information, please contact Lisa at lazure@uttc.edu.

Honoring Cheryl Medearis

The Teacher Education department at UTTC and the five graduates presented Cheryl Medearis with a star quilt in recognition for all of her hard work and dedication to not only UTTC's program but teacher education in general. Cheryl works tirelessly in many roles at Sinte Gleska University and has been a phenomenal resource to UTTC's Teacher Education program over the years. She has always been just a phone call or email away and we are truly appreciative of her dedication. The star quilt was made and signed by Elaine Brave Bull McLaughlin from Cannonball, North Dakota. Elaine has quilts on display at both the Smithsonian Native American Museum and the Heard Museum in Arizona. Thank you, Cheryl!
