About the English Education Teacher Preparation Program
Virginia Tech's English Education Teacher Licensure Preparation Program melds traditional issues of teaching writing, language and literature with newly emerging practices and research in adolescent literacy, new literacies, multimodal technologies, teaching, and learning in 21st century classrooms. The English Education Programs at Virginia Tech prepare English teachers, teacher educators, and scholars to be successful in the context of increasingly standardized education reforms. Working from the perspective that learning should be a generative act, faculty guide students in the exploration of concepts that make student-centered, dialogic approaches central constructs in the study of teaching and learning. Courses in the program focus on literacy development and consider the roles of language and culture in approaches to teaching that bring classroom content into dialogue with students’ lives in 21st century classrooms.

About the Counselor Education and Supervision Doctoral Program
The CACREP accredited Counselor Education and Supervision Ph.D. Program helps excellent counselors shape the future of the counseling profession through teaching, supervision, advocacy, and research. Our program strongly endorses the researcher-practitioner model. Our students receive a strong foundation in research methods that help them to design and conduct research that can be translated into practice. Counselor Educators and Supervisors are those skilled counselors who supervise, advocate, and teach. Counselor educators support the development of counseling students through direct instruction, as faculty in colleges and universities, and also through the supervision of the work of students and new professionals. Those are central components of ensuring high quality clinical work and protecting the clients who are served by counselors. Counselor educators are also advocates who help to shape the counseling profession, and address issues of injustice and inequity in our schools and communities. Our students have rich and rewarding experiences working in the classroom side-by-side with program faculty, and through teaching and supervising counselors in training.

Virginia Tech students awarded aspiring educators scholarships from the Virginia Department of Education , article
No matter what field an educator enters, there is one challenge they all face on their journey to graduation: funding their unpaid, semester-long, student teaching internship. This task is even harder for first generation students like Natalie Heflin and Sarah Wright who had the dual struggle of having to fund their own education and learning how to navigate the college experience. But these students both had a stroke of luck. Their advisor nominated them for the Paid Internship Scholarship for Aspiring Virginia Educators, made available by the Virginia Department of Education. They were awarded $10,000 (Wright) and $5,000 (Heflin) during their time as student teachers.
