Saint Mary's College of California — Single-Subject Teaching Credential, Social Science Teacher Education
Saint Mary's College of California
Jan 2015 - Dec 2016 (2 years)
As a candidate for a single-subject teaching credential in social sciences, I received both classroom instruction and hands-on experience throughout this program. My courses of study included the social and psychological foundations of childhood education, foundations of literacy, instructional design, universal access to education (English Language Learners & SpEd), and health education. My coursework was rigorous and enlightening, but what really aided me throughout this program was my in-the-class experience with my master teacher and then as a long-term substitute teacher. My program supervisor, as well as the staff and administration at my site allowed me to grow as an educator and as a person throughout my time with them.
