Five Core Components of Eureka College Teacher Education Program

  

  • Professsionalism
  • Content knowledge
  • Assessment
  • Classroom management
  • Teaching strategies

 

Our coursework provides opportunities to utilize the specific, evidence-based instructional practices needed for success across our five core components of the Teacher Education Conceptual Framework. 

 

Unique Coursework

Coursework in the Teacher Education Program encompasses a common framework known as Universal Design for Learning. This provides skills necessary to teach a diverse range of students. Our candidates are prepared for an inclusive classroom, where Evidence-Based Practices are addressed for the needs of students with varied backgrounds, learning styles and abilities. 

 

Technology integration maintains a strong focus in select coursework. Scheduled lab times provide opportunities to equip and prepare students for the digital learning environment.

 

Courses also involve exposure to co-teaching techniques which equips students to plan, instruct and collaborate with peers. Students will also explore multiple learning opportunities through the micro-teaching model. This allows students to deliver lessons, receive specific and immediate feedback, and reflect upon their teaching to help better their craft.
