Integration Tech with Education - EDvolution®
A major goal of the Teacher Preparation Program is to develop teacher candidates who will be leaders in the use of current and emergent technology through EDvolution®. As technology has become an essential element in the classroom, we have made it a goal to teach our education students how to best use these products in the classroom. This way, not only do your future students benefit, but you become a more competitive teaching candidate.
-
Student Teaching
The preparation of teachers is field based with a minimum of 225 hours of pre-student teaching experience in an area school classroom with a properly certificated and experienced teacher. When a teacher candidate completes the education program, they have had ample time and experiences to become competent professional educators. -
International Student Teaching
At Southeast, we offer student teaching abroad at Eagles College in Iquique, Chile. Teaching in a foreign country gives our students their own educational opportunity. Southeast students get to see firsthand how students in other countries learn, explore new methods, and gain real life teaching experience.
