About the Program

A major in Education provides a career program based upon a knowledge of subject content, a knowledge of the teaching and learning processes and a background in the liberal arts. The program integrates bodies of knowledge with the art of teaching. Students who major in Education at DelVal will be prepared to teach at the secondary school level in the following subjects: Agriculture, Biology, Business, Chemistry, English, General Science, Mathematics and Social Studies.

A program sequence of courses for each content area and certification is prescribed. The program sequence of courses strives for thorough knowledge of subject area, classroom-management skills, communication skills and the development of rational analysis and critical judgment as it applies to education. A Student Teacher Handbook is available and specifically defines requirements for each content area and certification, provides program sequences for each subject area and outlines protocols and responsibilities for the Education major including information regarding Praxis examinations. Recent changes in the testing program will require sophomore students to begin the examinations. A student teaching application must be completed sometime in the junior year.
