OVERVIEW

THE COLLEGE OF TEACHER EDUCATION

Welcome to the College of Teacher Education (CTEd), nurturing hub for aspiring educators who are passionate about teaching and committed to shaping the future. At CTEd, we believe that teaching is more than a profession; it’s a calling. We guide the pre-service teachers through dynamic learning experiences, grounded in innovation, critical thinking, and values that reflect the heart of Filipino education.

As one of the six academic pillars of Davao del Sur State College (DSSC), alongside the College of Agriculture and Related Sciences, College of Business Education and Governance, College of Computing, Engineering and Technology, College of Mathematics, Arts and Sciences, and College of Graduate and Professional Education, CTEd stands out in its mission to develop future educators who are innovative, value-driven, and socially responsive.

Here, we don’t just prepare students to enter classrooms; we prepare them to lead, inspire, and make a difference. From community engagement to academic excellence, CTEd empowers every pre-service teacher to become a catalyst for positive change. Whether in local schools or global classrooms, our graduates carry with them the spirit of service, the power of knowledge, and the confidence to teach with purpose. Sa CTEd, lamang ka!
