Bachelor's in Teacher Education
Introduction
Teacher Education is a Bachelor program taught at Bates College, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.
Teacher Education at Bates focuses on critical study of the purpose and impact of schooling in society. Students analyze the dynamics between the purposes and products of schooling and the social structures and cultural processes that form the broader context for education. Because education is treated as a field, courses draw on psychology, philosophy, sociology, the arts, the sciences, history, and anthropology.
Learning includes community-engaged learning as part of almost every education course, using community and school-based settings. Students also bridge teaching theory and teaching practice early on. The program includes a grades 6–12 teaching certification pathway with student teaching, and an educational studies pathway based on emerging interests, with real-world classroom and community experiences. Featured courses include Learning and Teaching: Theories and Practice, Student Teaching I, and Seminar in Educational Studies.
