Education Program, e-mail

According
to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Outlook Handbook:
“Job opportunities
for teachers over the next 10 years
should be excellent, attributable mostly
to the large number of teachers expected
to retire.”
“Teachers who
are geographically mobile and who obtain
licensure in more than one subject should
have a distinct advantage in finding
a job.”
“Because of
a shortage of teachers in certain locations
and in anticipation of the loss of a
number of teachers to retirement, many
states are implementing policies that
will encourage more students to become
teachers. Some are giving large signing
bonuses that are distributed over the
teacher's first few years of teaching.
Some are expanding state scholarships;
issuing loans for moving expenses; and
implementing loan-forgiveness programs,
allowing education majors with at least
a B average to receive state-paid tuition
so long as they agree to teach in the
state for 4 years.”

Profiles
Meet
the people who
make this program special. |
Making a difference in someone’s
life is a truly special opportunity. Perhaps one
person’s influence has sparked your desire
to become a teacher? Many consider education to
emulate that special teacher who turned them on
to learning.
At Champlain, we want to build
those special teachers of tomorrow -- creative,
empathetic, passionate and well prepared leaders
who will make a difference in their students’
lives.
Students interested
in certification for middle school
English teaching will focus on literature,
writing and drama courses. Those pursuing
certification for middle school social
studies will take history and contemporary
world issues courses.
“The
most important thing I’ve learned at Champlain
is that one person can make a difference…because
it happened to me. I am going to work with lots
of kids in my lifetime and if I can touch a handful
of those lives, that’s what making a difference
means to me.”
