The Education Department is committed to producing the finest teachers possible for the nation's youth. We feel responsible, furthermore, for identifying those pre-service teachers who possess unusually strong affective intellectual characteristics which are desirable in teachers. The faculty commits itself to interact with such students on a regular basis to promote their development in a manner more personalized and intense than is possible through regular course structures.
The Education Honorary consists of students who apply and meet the requirements for membership. Students majoring or minoring in education are eligible for membership in the Education Honorary if they have earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher in education courses and an overall GPA of 3.3. In addition, they need to have exhibited qualities of leadership, commitment to teaching, critical analysis, etc. that distinguish them as scholars and potential leaders.

Because the quality of their teacher education program at Wittenberg will determine, to a large degree, the success of their teaching careers, students have a legitimate right to be involved in decisions affecting their professional training. Therefore, an advisory board composed of students pursuing certification in the Teacher Education Program was established in 1968.
The purposes of the Advisory Board are to have a voice and vote in curriculum and policy decisions of the Department. To communicate the concerns of students to the Department. Provide a communication link between faculty and students and to help the Education Department strengthen the Teacher Education Program.
Board members are elected in the spring of each school year and serve for one academic year. There are twelve members of the Advisory Board representing both students majoring and minoring in the Teacher Education Program.
