There are many different educational programs available to
prospective elementary and secondary teachers at Oregon
Universities and Colleges. Some incorporate the teaching degree
within a baccalaureate program, and some within a master’s
program. In secondary education, students are advised to decide
what subject matter they plan to teach, and take classes as if that
subject were their major. Students should work closely with UCC
advisors and representatives of the intended transfer institutions(s).
All prospective teachers are urged to take ED 100, which is a teaching practicum. This will help students verify that teaching is a good career choice for them. In addition, students are urged to choose the baccalaureate school program early, and then align coursework at UCC to work best with those requirements. Secondary Education students are urged to work closely with advisors both at UCC and the “target” school in planning classes at UCC.
