“The edTPA scores highlight the exceptional work of our faculty and staff in supporting candidate success,鈥� praised College of Education Dean and Professor Dr. Prince Hycy Bull. 鈥淭hese results reflect strong academic preparation and demonstrate that our candidates possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required for impactful practice in diverse K-12 settings.鈥�
