Education Professions II A/B

This class is designed to give students a deeper experience in the world of becoming a teacher and educator. Students will continue to learn about career choices, education structure and systems, theories, history, pedagogy, developmental stages, learning styles and instructional methods. Students will also have the opportunity to visit classrooms to work with current teachers and K-8 students. Students will work with a variety of age levels one-on-one, in small groups, or whole class. Students will be expected to create and implement a lesson plan. Students who successfully complete Education Professions I and Education Profession II will become an Education Professions program completer. Being a program completer shows colleges and future employers that you have gained practical and industry specific skills. Program completion increases employability and job readiness. Students who successfully complete the Education Professions program will have opportunities to take education classes through the community college while still in high school and have the potential to earn an associate in Education by the time they graduate high school. These courses align with MCC’s bachelors in education program, creating a pipeline for future teachers.
