Go Beyond the Lesson Plan
Our children’s time in the classroom echoes throughout every aspect of their lives. It is our shared responsibility to provide strong role models in schools—and that starts with offering you a lesson in growth. To break barriers. To open minds once closed. During a time when teacher shortage has reached crisis levels, the need to reach students from every background has never been greater.
That’s why our duty is, and always will be, to prepare competent, confident, and conscientious educational leaders who will promote and empower personal growth, academic success, and professional achievement for all.
a
Extensive Credential Programs
We prepare students to become top-notch educators. This includes not only providing our students a means of receiving their legally-required credentials, but offering you a wide range of supplemental certifications to widen your knowledge base. Whether you are taking on CTC-approved teaching or special education credentials, tackling a Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) credential, or bridging the language gap with TESOL, Alliant can help you advance your educational horizons beyond the lesson plan. See how our world-class education programs can help prepare you to be an elite educator upon graduation.
a
Focus on Diversity
Not every important lesson in life is taught in the classroom, but we know that all school districts need all-star teachers. That’s why we fill our classes with ways to expose you to cultural experiences outside your own, and we ensure that your practical training opportunities expose you to a diverse array of environments so you learn how to be the guide that every student needs — no matter where they come from. If you’re looking to improve both private and public schools throughout local school districts, start your education with Alliant International University today.

Welcome from the Dean
Welcome to the California School of Education (CSOE) at Alliant International University.
As an educator for over 25 years, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including multicultural, bilingual, multilingual, indigenous, and special-needs groups in K-12 and higher education. I use research and data to consistently improve my strengths and my leadership methods, focusing on climate as the key to driving results. Equity and organizational practices are part of my strategic focus when addressing institutional barriers and facilitating success.
At CSOE, our academic programs and experienced faculty demonstrate the qualities necessary for preparing you to make a lasting impact through teaching, counseling, leadership, administration, management, and community work. We have adopted a mantra, IMPACT, that illustrates our institutional culture of Inclusion, Mentoring, Passion, Accountability, Communication, and Teamwork.
At CSOE, we are committed to providing and promoting quality, equitable education. Our holistic vision of excellence values the rich diversity of our community and promotes inclusivity when establishing partnerships with stakeholders.
Our faculty are scholar-practitioners known for their depth of knowledge and practice. Our reciprocal learning model allows for the integration of current trends promoting transformation in service learning, community involvement, and social change.
Your decision to pursue higher education is an important one, and your decision to be an educator, leader, psychologist, or counselor will influence social change. You have a part in impacting our future leaders and future citizens. We encourage you to explore our website, learn more about our programs, and meet with our academic advisors and faculty.
Sincerely,
Kristy Pruitt, EdD
Dean, California School of Education
