South Plains College is now offering a new associate’s degree in teaching, which offers field observation experience in an actual classroom setting.
The college has articulation agreements currently with Texas Tech University - College of Education and Lubbock Christian University, that allow this degree to transfer in it's entirety. The student will enter into a teacher education program at a four-year university beginning with their junior year.
According to Dr. Gail Platt, Director of the Teaching and Learning Center at SPC says, "It’s a fabulous program for those students who want to become teachers, and it enables them to find out early on if this is really what they want to do.”
This program gives freshmen and sophomore students the chance to take introductory courses in education, starting the students on their career course as underclassmen, instead of putting it off until their junior year at a university. The students are involved in group projects and gain knowledge in the educational experience by having the chance to observe other teachers, by making visits to various schools to monitor teachers and students in their classroom environments. In addition, students will study ethics, policies and classroom strategies, along with other topics that make up the education field.
