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.”

Meet
the people who
make this program special. |
Did you have a special teacher
in your life who really made a difference…helped
you to see things in new ways, opened your eyes
to new opportunities and your own possibilities?
Now imagine yourself having that
kind of impact on someone else…or better yet,
many others. That is what being a teacher is all
about.
At Champlain, you’ll start
working with students during your first semester
and Champlain has a proven track record as an ideal
training ground for today’s teacher. We want
to cultivate those special teachers of tomorrow
who will make a difference in their students’
lives.
Students interested in certification
for high school English teaching will focus on literature,
writing and drama courses. Those pursuing certification
for high school social studies will take history
and contemporary world issues courses.
