IL, SS- In this introductory education course students will explore the aims of education and the organization and structure of the teaching profession. Students will learn about the historical, philosophical, and psychological foundations of education (primarily, but not entirely, from a North American perspective). We will analyze current trends in education to provide background on issues that affect today's teachers from preschool through high school. Students will be required to complete 20 hours of Community-based learning (CBL) experience in an educational setting and submit documentation from the field site supervisor. The field site may require a background check. This course will fulfill the integrated learning requirement.
Prerequisites
Placement into ENGL 95 or above, AND completion of COLL 101 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
