These notices displayed in the department for the convenience of graduating students. Students are encouraged to become aware of and engage with professional societies involved in setting educational standards. Kappa Delta Pi is one of the largest and most prestigious educational honor societies in the United States. It has been organized to recognize scholarship and excellence in education. Those individuals elected to membership exhibit the ideals of scholarship, high personal standards, and promise in the teaching and allied professions recognized by the society.
Membership is voluntary and is highly recommended for pre-service teachers.
At various times pre-service teachers will be required to observe in local schools as part of their course of study. Observations give students ample opportunity to develop school relationships and become immersed in the teaching and learning process. Fall quarter of the junior year is spent completing core courses and requirements for areas of concentration. College supervisors work closely with supervising teachers to make this a positive learning experience. Education faculty advisors will assist the prospective teachers in courses of study that will prepare them as pre-service teachers.
