Education Department
The Department of Education introduces aspiring teachers to the best practices to facilitate teacher leadership. The two-year program is designed to help students gain acceptance into the teacher preparation programs at four-year institutions. The college/freshman experience component forms the springboard for the continual processes of personal, intellectual, and academic development and exists to help students discover their innate ability to learn. Further, the physical education, health and recreation component adheres to fundamental and applied concepts of scientific study in the historical, social, psychological, environmental, experiential, and physical way of thinking and learning by offering educational, sports, and fitness activity classes with the emphasis on "wellness and fitness for life." The department curriculum is designed to meet academic, professional, physical, social and emotional needs of students.
This department includes all Pre-teacher Education Programs, including Early Childhood, and the College Experience and the Freshman Experience.
