The objective of the education
curriculum at Lansing Community College is to help future
educators begin their growth toward becoming professional
teachers. We emphasize "reflective teaching," with
"practical experience" and "modeling."
|
We endeavor to introduce a conceptual
base, an awareness of basic terms, current trends, and practical perspectives/ realities that future educators need to know. The
program facilitates further academic pursuit of a career in
education.
|
Schools of education differ in
philosophy and specific requirements, therefore we encourage
students to review the curriculum guide for the college or
university they will transfer to, or contact the specific school
of education and inquire about specific courses they will require.
