UCLA's Teacher Education Program was founded in 1992 and is guided by eight core principles: 

• Embody a social justice agenda
• Foster sustained engagement in teaching and learning
• Attend to the moral, cultural, and political dimensions of teaching
• Blend theory and practice
• Collaborate across institutions and communities
• Paricipate in collaborative inquiry within communities of practice
• Focus simultaneously on professional education, school reform and reinventing the university's role in K-14 schooling
• Mirror the diverse, caring, anti-racist, socially-responsible learning communities

To serve a wide range of aspiring and accomplished educators, UCLA's Center X offers several pathways that culminate in an M.Ed. and/or Teaching Credential.

TEP recruitment events are now in progress. To attend one, please see our calendar for specific dates.
