A Message from the Director

Welcome to the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Center for Teacher Education. We are excited about the teaching opportunities available to you in our program.  JSRCC Center for Teacher Education serves students interested in becoming teachers or teacher aides. We also provide professional development opportunities for practicing teachers.

As director of the center, I am housed at both the Parham Road and Downtown Campuses, and our four education advisors are located at the Parham Road and Downtown Campus. The College offers courses and programs at convenient times and locations at three comprehensive campuses. Our experienced faculty assists in aspiring teachers in developing the skills, the attitudes, and the behaviors they need to be highly qualified teachers. Additionally we offer courses to certified teachers to improve and enhance their skills and knowledge for state endorsements in critical areas of need.

We are committed to meeting your needs as you prepare for a teaching career or enhance your existing skills and knowledge base in the teaching profession. You may contact me at (804) 523-5543 or e-mail me at hmorrison@reynolds.edu. Contact information for our education advisors may be found under the Advising Information link to the left.
