Education


 

This Associate of Arts in Teaching degree is for students interested in acquiring knowledge and skills in the field of education. Courses within the program align with State Board for Educator Certification Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities Standards. The degree plan satisfies the core requirements for baccalaureate programs at four-year institutions that lead to initial Texas teacher certification.

Field experiences are an integral part of becoming a professional teacher. Courses that are field-based require outside classroom time for observation and experiential learning at all levels of P-12 schools, with varied and diverse student populations, for the purpose of introduction to and analysis of the culture of schooling and classrooms. Field experiences are to be conducted within schools/districts which have gone through the Lone Star College Educational Affiliation Agreement process.
