The Teacher Education
Program at Crowder College prepares the student to enter a rewarding
career in education. The program prepares the student to transfer to
a four-year institution to complete the requirements for a teaching
certificate in Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle School, or Secondary.
The program also prepares paraprofessionals who wish to meet the standard
of “highly qualified” as outlined in the new federal law
known as “No Child Left Behind.”
Two additional requirements
for an Associate Degree in Education are to complete a professional
portfolio and pass all 5 sections of the C-BASE.
