TEACH! Secondary

College of Education

 

TEACH! Secondary will not be available during the 2021-2022 Academic Year

 

TEACH! Learning communities are designed to bring first-year Teacher Education students together through academics, professional development, and social activities. Both the Elementary and Secondary TEACH! Learning Communities will take their first Professional Education course, Introduction to Educational Technology and Computing, together, as well as an additional class. Fun extracurricular activities will be co-planned by students and instructors, providing opportunities for information, learning, and interaction. Classes in the past have participated in exciting learning activities and games they were able to use with school children outside of the classroom setting. A residence option is available for all TEACH! students.
