DANTE's
Mission is Teacher Education
The
Dallas Area Network for Teaching and Education [DANTE], a project
within the Department of Education at the University of Dallas, is
committed to forming an academic "community of practice"
both on campus and online where preservice and inservice
teachers can construct what it means to teach...for the first time or all over again.
DANTE
offers teachers a safe, stimulating, and supportive academic environment in which
to re-conceive knowledge of subject matter using the pedagogical
tools of the twenty-first century. For all the
"change" occurring in American schools today, the role
of the teacher in student achievement remains the critical
element. DANTE is committed to supporting the growth and
continuing formation of good teachers. To this end, DANTE offers credit courses, seminars, workshops, inservice as
well as web resources and web hosting services to teachers and schools.
