Teacher Cadet

This course gives students an inside look at how education works—from preschool through high school. Students will learn about how students grow and learn, what makes a great teacher, and how schools are run. Students also get real classroom experience working alongside a teacher.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Understand how they learn best (learning styles, strengths, etc.)

• Learn how self-esteem affects students

• Explore how people grow and develop at different ages

• Learn what makes a group work well together

• Identify barriers to learning and how to help overcome them

• Spot the differences between strong and weak teaching

• Learn how public schools got started and how they’ve changed

• Research and discuss important education issues

• And more!

Major Course Projects:

• Coat of Arms

• Learning Styles Reflection

• Barriers to Learning Project

• Children's Book Project

We are lucky to have several guest speakers scheduled to come in and speak with our class each semester and we take a field trip to Centenary University for their Future Educator's Day.
