EDU101 Introduction to Teaching

This course is designed for students who want to explore possibilities in education, particularly teaching, as a career. The historical, philosophical, social and methodological aspects of learning and teaching are unifying themes throughout this course. Students will be introduced to national and state curriculum frameworks. Students will be exposed to a diversity of educational settings and develop an understanding of the connections between the different sectors of education. Classroom observation experiences are required of all students for a total of 15-hours.

PLEASE NOTE: Since field observations take place in area educational settings, students may be required to complete a criminal background check (CORI/SORI/CHRI).
