Teacher Features

Showcasing Events of the Union College Education Program

The secondary student teachers have been in their classrooms since the first of August, so are well engrained in the routine with their co-operating teachers and classes.

Those who are teaching in Music, Art and PE have moved from the high school level to middle and elementary classrooms since they are required to student teach in K-12 settings in whichever endorsement they are majoring in.

The elementary student teachers are on a schedule where they take methods courses in the first half of the semester and student teach in the second half. On October 22, thirteen of them began teaching in classrooms at George Stone Elementary School (4), Helen Hyatt Elementary School (5), Lincoln Public Schools (3) and one in North Dakota at the Hillside Elementary school in Jamestown, North Dakota. Each of them will have opportunity to get experience in Upper, Lower grades and in Multi-grade and single grade settings in both SDA church schools and public schools. The rich diversity of experience prepares them for any job they may obtain after graduating from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and North America Division of Seventh-day Adventists (NAD) approved education program.
