Early and primary teacher education majors begin taking courses specific to their majors in first year. In addition to courses in teaching math, reading, social studies and science, students have specific courses on topics like educational psychology and family and community relations to prepare them to interact successfully as public servants. Students are also trained in educational methods, planning, assessment, evaluation and even online teaching.
Before progressing beyond 48 credits (usually before the third year of study), students must apply for and earn Teacher Candidate Status. An information seminar and pre-testing are available in advance.
Students are required to keep journals of their experiences in the classroom to help them process and reflect upon what they are learning. A seminar class as part of student teaching gives education majors an opportunity to share ideas, discuss challenges and support one another in the transition to professional work.
