Facilities and Technology

Our model classroom includes movable furniture, a two-way window for observing children, and BenQ boards where students can practice teaching. As an education student, however, most courses will include a clinical experience, getting you out of the Hope classroom and into a K–12 setting where you can observe, learn about, and practice teaching.

Technology in the Classroom

The ISTE Technology Standards for Educators are integrated into education classes to ensure that students are fully prepared to use technology for teaching, learning, and assessment. A senior portfolio demonstrates how students have met these standards.

Hope’s education department was one of six colleges/universities in the United States to receive the ISTE seal for effective integration of technology into Teacher Education.

International Society for Technology in Education

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Technology Standards for Educators are intentionally integrated into the education classes at Hope College and prepare teacher education candidates to effectively use technology for teaching, learning and assessment. The Department of Education at Hope College utilizes ISTE standards in most courses through technology-rich assignments and projects that help prepare our students. 

National Education Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS*T)

The Hope College Education Department was selected as one of six colleges/universities in the United States to receive the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) award. This award recognized the systematic integration of the ISTE Technology Standards into every education class.
