Lopes Teach Up
Teaching is more than a career: It's a calling of purpose and passion for educators to change lives. Although rewarding, this profession is often met with rigorous challenges and lack of support that can, unfortunately, lower the drive and morale of even the most passionate teachers.
Be an Advocate: Lopes Teach Up strives to transform the rhetoric of education by shining light on the profession and brightening its outlook. Our mission is to shift the current conversation surrounding the hardships of teaching to refocus on how education is a career of servant leadership. It's an opportunity to empower, enrich and elevate students in impactful and enduring ways.
Job satisfaction and teacher appreciation can lead to heightened student achievement and a better quality of life. Let's join as one in the spirit of education! Together, we can support one another and follow our higher purpose to teach as champions of teaching and learning for better futures.
Teaching truly is one of the greatest and noblest professions. As our students embark on their teaching journeys, we stand behind them and hope they never lose sight of why they choose to teach. Take the pledge to:
- LIVE your purpose
- SHARE your passion
- INSPIRE the future

About the College of Education
In the College of Education (COE), students carry out their passion to inspire minds and change lives across a variety of school and community settings. With a rich heritage as a prestigious teaching college established in 1949, we ensure our programs continue to meet the changing, diverse needs in education and provide opportunities that create meaningful learning experiences. GCU's commitment to student success extends beyond graduation as we continue to offer support and services during a graduate's first year as a new teacher or administrator.
Our Mission: Our college inspires excellence in pedagogy and scholarship; advances reflective, innovative and collaborative teaching practices to maximize student learning and achievement; promotes servant leadership in educational communities; and engages a diverse and global community of learners with purpose and passion.
