ED 100 - Introduction to Education

3 Credit(s)

Introduction to Education is designed for students who want to learn more about the teaching profession, by providing an opportunity to explore and experience the nature and role of the classroom teacher as facilitator of learning, decision maker, and member of the PK–12 teaching community. Through class discussions, school visits and tours, and interaction with practicing teachers, students witness first-hand the intricacies of teaching. The duties, responsibilities, and preparation of the classroom teacher are emphasized concurrently with an examination of the foundations of education. This course is aligned with PDE’s PK–4 and Special Education PK–12 Competencies and Code of Ethics. This course includes Stage 1 Fieldwork, and clearances are required.
