Teacher Education Program
The courses in the Teacher Education Program provide a social, philosophical, psychological and historical framework in which students can develop a personal philosophy of teaching. The Indiana Wesleyan University Teacher Education Program's knowledge-base model, Teacher as Decision Maker, emphasizes decision-making within eight realms: (1) content/subject matter expertise; (2) personal development (morals and ethics); (3) professional development; (4) rights and responsibilities; (5) methodology; (6) management of time, classroom and behaviors; (7) communication; (8) and global and multicultural perspectives.
The program is a blend of liberal arts education, content-specific course work and clinical field placements which work together to provide the student with teaching situations that allow the theory (presented within the university classroom) to become applied knowledge within the world of the practitioner. All professors within the education component of the program have had classroom experience and continue to work closely with current practicing teachers.
