Teachers affect the future. It happened to you. You can make it happen. The Child's Journey Begins Over 800 students major in this crucial area of education. Methods courses provide students the opportunity to videotape and reflex on lessons in our micro-teaching labs.
Numerous settings are available for student teaching, the culminating experience of our program.
Students have the option of choosing urban, rural, or international settings, currently including Mexico and Ireland. Classroom experiences are enriched through our educational technology lab and our Literacy and Multicultural Centers. These in-house resources contain educational software and programs, as well as extensive collections of children's literature and multicultural materials. Currently, due to the excellent reputation of this program, our students are recruited by school districts from all over the nation. The department's mission is to provide secondary education majors with the knowledge, skills and dispositions required to succeed in today's changing classrooms.
