Introduction To Education
Intro to education is a great class to discover if teaching is the job for you. The curriculum is very straight forward and does not sugar coat the profession. In this course we learned about all sorts of things from how the school system works, classroom management, different types of learners, assessing, parent involvement, and standards of teaching. This class required 30 hours of service learning which lets you dip your toes in the pool of education before jumping head first in. Surrounded by open minded classmates, from different educational backgrounds I learned much more about my philosophy of education and how I feel towards subjects relating to it.
