Instruction Faculty
SUBJECT: Welcome
Welcome to Introduction
to Secondary Education SEED 2002. We are
sure that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding experience. From this point on your education advisor
will be the instructor of this class.
Transfer students will need to see the Department Head to be assigned an
education advisor.
The purpose of this
experience is to help you understand how the system of education really works.
As you understand the system, you will also be gaining information to help you
make an important career choice. Working
with children is not the appropriate choice for everyone. Some of you will discover that teaching is
not for you; others of you will “know for sure” that you want to devote your
professional life to teaching. Each
decision is equally important and is equally respected.
Although the actual
classroom observation phase of this course is very important, the follow-up
seminars that you will have with your colleagues and your professor are equally
important in helping you to clarify the experience. It is not so much a new
experience that helps us to grow, but it is the reflection on that
experience. Seminar is your reflection
time. We believe that you will find the
sharing time in class to be informative and fun - and it is always lively!
We have all been
classroom teachers, so we are well aware of the knowledge, skills and attitudes
that are necessary if you are to be a successful teacher. Your education advisor and your content
advisor will help you get into Stage II, and assist with other tasks as you
move toward licensure to become a “real teacher.”
