Student teaching is an important element of a bachelor's degree in education that prepares you for actual work in the classroom. In student teaching, you work with a licensed educator inside a classroom to understand what it is really like to work with students every day. You will teach lessons, help students who are struggling, give assignments, and more as part of your student teaching experience. Having this in-classroom experience is vital to helping you be ready for having your own classroom, and many states will require in-classroom experience before giving you a teaching license. A bachelor's degree program in education can help you set up your student teaching so you are ready to move forward and experience educating students first-hand.
