The success and well-being of the next generation depends on educators who lead with vision, serve with integrity, work for excellence and give of themselves to others - the kind of educator you want to be - the kind George Fox University will help you become. The Educational Foundations and Leadership department is dedicated to preparing education professionals for service and leadership in both K-12 private and public schools and in higher education by developing professional competence and character within a framework of Christian faith and values.
The EDFL department offers two graduate degrees and several endorsement or licensure programs approved by the Oregon Teachers and Standards Practices Commission (TSPC). EDFL programs are staffed by excellent faculty with both academic and professional expertise in their specific areas and offers flexible classes at multiple locations, with summer class schedules as well as online, evening and Saturday courses.
