Gordon’s teaching staff includes more than 200 members who hold degrees of higher learning ranking from full professor to lecturer. The faculty staff is actively involved in developing learning materials and in research in the field of education. Thousands of educators participate in conferences and enrichment programs taking place throughout the year at the college.

As a teacher’s college, Gordon’s staff closely supervises their students who are sent to over 100 different schools in the north for their student teaching experience. By being closely involved in the reality of Israeli schools, the staff is fully aware of the multicultural nature of Israel’s population and the need to address the issue of teachers working in a multicultural setting. Moreover, as a School of Education, Gordon College believes that one of the major problems today in Israeli society is the lack of understanding for others, and especially after the waves of immigration in the 1980s and 1990s this problem has grown rather than lessened. The lack of tolerance towards cultural differences, prejudice and negative stereotypes of different ethnic and minority groups are all problems that we feel must be addressed in a concrete manner.

 Among Gordon College’s well respected departments is the English Department. The English Department puts a strong beginning emphasis on proficiency and linguistics in the early years for students entering its 4 year
 B.Ed. program. These theoretical studies are soon coupled with three years of intense practice teaching and methodology, under the guidance of mentors, both from the college and teachers in the field, working closely with the students.
