Initial Teacher Preparation - Program Summary - Reading
Last Update: 8/01/07 *


Description

Undergraduate students at Purdue University engage in campus-wide instruction that will allow them to teach effectively in contemporary classrooms within U.S. society. COE undergraduates discover how content can be infused into their future classrooms as they study with leading intellectual scholars across the university, engage with youngsters in diverse educational settings, and study instructional pedagogy in order to foster attitudes of lifelong learning in all their students. Purdue University’s program includes shared College of Education courses designed for preservice teachers in K-12 education. These include experiences in educational philosophy and psychology, cultural diversity, learning disparities and classroom management. As they journey through the various four-year undergraduate teaching programs at Purdue University, students are encouraged to consider how learning happens in collaborative settings, to read about best practices in classroom instruction, and to consider how technology can help teachers reach beyond their individual classrooms and into the twenty-first century global community.

The undergraduate Elementary Education program provides students with a sequential set of classroom and community experiences that prepares them to be effective teachers. The six sequenced blocks provide an integration of content and pedagogical knowledge, while students have the opportunity to collaborate with local area teachers in Theory-Into-Practice field experiences. Course assignments are tied to the six components of the COE undergraduate model, as well as to the ten INTASC principles.
