EDU 201 Introduction to Education with Field Experience
In preparation for careers in education, students examine the historical foundations of education in the United States and gain context to issues and controversies that challenge educators today. Coursework includes class presentations, journals, videos, and discussion of principles, theories, and practices in today’s educational system. Students also engage a structured, fifteen (15) hour observation in a local classroom. Each student works with the FPCC professor to: identify an appropriate placement classroom, to contact school administration, to facilitate an observation agreement with the classroom teacher, and to observe the educational environment. It is recommended that Education majors take this foundational course before taking higher level courses.
