Four Guiding Principles:
Our approach to teaching is built around four guiding principles:
- Centenary College is about teaching students to love to learn.
- There are many ways in which children learn—there is no one way for all children—so we help our students to understand how to match teaching styles with learning styles.
- We teach you, our students, based on your best learning styles; so we practice what we teach.
- Students and faculty create the learning program together.
Practical Applications:
To illustrate how this works at Centenary, here of some of the things you will discover:
- We prefer to teach in small interactive classes.
- We believe in modeling the behavior we want our future teachers to emulate
- Much of what we do is hands-on--we create an active learning environment for you.
- We believe in field experience from the day you start in the program.
- Our faculty works with you closely as you develop into a professional teacher.
- We work to place you in the right environment for student teaching.
- Our dual-degree in General Education and Special Education is one of the few programs of its kind in the country.
- You will find the faculty highly trained, very personable and innovative. They provide you with experience and expertise to guide your development.
- Our department seminars and professional training programs are open to area teachers and to our students.
- And we work closely with you to prepare you for the right job when you graduate.
