Service Learning
Graduates of Walters State's Pre-teacher Education Program participate in 18-54 hours of Service Learning. This program allows our students to gain hands-on learning experience while providing the K-12 schools in our ten county region with classroom volunteers. The focus of our Service Learning Program is on literacy training for students in K-12 education. Students in Early Childhood Education (birth to age eight) complete an initial practicum of 45 clock hours and later a final practicum of 90 clock hours. Participation in a service learning event or practicum requires proof of liability coverage. This coverage can be acquired on campus as a benefit of STEA membership. An additional requirement for participation in a service learning event or practicum is a standard FBI/TBI Background Check.
Criminal Background Check Requirements
Walters State education majors having contact with or who are in proximity to children related to classroom (service learning, etc) are required to undergo a criminal background check prior to placement. How to complete the criminal background check requirements.
