Education: Learn by Doing at New England College:

Teach at our partner schools. There is no better way to learn about teaching then to actually be in a classroom teaching. Work alongside professional educators: starting in your first semester and in every semester thereafter.

Build curriculum. You’ll learn how to modify and adapt curriculum in real-life school settings so all students can meet with success. Whether you are teaching first graders or juniors in high school you will be able to help all students. You will engage in a variety of courses that will help you meet the needs of the diverse learners in your future classrooms.

Teach a variety of subjects and develop the Habits of Mind to be an effective teacher. Learn from your faculty as they demonstrate effective teaching strategies. Discover how to get students excited about learning, even when learning may be difficult for them. See the power of believing in every student and making sure that instruction meets the needs of all students and helps them be successful. Become versed in the content that you will be teaching your students. Students majoring in elementary education must become versed in either English, social studies, math, or science. Students majoring in secondary education must become versed in the content associated with their area of certification: English, social studies, life sciences, theatre K-12, or Kinesiology K-12.

Educate your students at every level. Spend time with students who are struggling learners. See how their needs are met and become versed in the laws and policies that support the education of all students. Every student in the Teacher Education program takes all the courses that would lead to a General Special Education K-12 certification. We believe you must be prepared to educate all children regardless of their talents or challenges.
