The secondary education program at Presentation College, responding to the mission of the Presentation Sisters and the philosophy of their founder, Nano Nagle, believes that the development of a reflective professional is dependent upon a program that focuses on the education of the heart as well as the mind, both in classroom instruction as well as in practical and clinical experiences.   The Presentation College Teacher Education program reflects the belief that teaching is a vocation, a calling, if not from God, at least from within oneself, to become a competent, caring, and reflective educator. The mission statement for the education department reads:

The mission of the teacher education program at Presentation College is to provide a quality education that challenges teacher-candidates to pursue their vocation through scholarly inquiry, reflective analysis and guided practice to become competent, caring and reflective practitioners enriched by Christian principles and values.
