TAP 1 Examining the Teaching Profession
This is the foundational course under the Teaching as a Profession pathway and prepares students for future positions in the field of education. Teaching as a Profession students study, apply, and practice the use of current technologies, effective teaching and learning strategies, the creation of an effective learning environment, the creation of instructional opportunities for diverse learners and students with special needs, and plan instruction based on knowledge of subject matter, students, community, and curriculum performance standards.
Lab is completed in the classroom where students will practice skills, complete lab checkoff activities and facilitate whole group lessons. The goal is for students to overcome public speaking, practice locating standards, creating interactive and engaging lessons, and learn how to communicate with their peers.
