Description

This course is an introduction to the field of education with particular emphasis on providing students an overview of the functions of the educational profession. Historical and philosophical development of educational theory and practice in the United States will support the student in examining current issues in education. Issues affecting the role of the teacher, including school governance and finance, legal foundations, social influences, and educational reform will also be explored. The Stage II field experiences are aligned to PDE field competencies and are demonstrated in the continued development of a portfolio. Students are required to have current PA clearances on the first day of class.
