Salem College is passionate about preparing teachers who believe all children are learners and who believe that teachers are responsible for creating the conditions of learning for all children .  One of the unique features of the Elementary Education program at Salem College is the partnership with Griffith Elementary.  Griffith Elementary provides important learning experiences for Salem's teacher candidates; inviting them to become involved in all aspects of school life.  Time spent with the teachers, students, and families at Griffith Elementary affords teacher candidates valuable opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills gained during their coursework as they seek to improve their practice, reflect upon their work, and continue their professional growth and development.  Salem College is extremely grateful for the critical role Griffith Elementary plays in preparing exemplary elementary educators for tomorrow's children!
