EDUCATION

ne of the College’s largest departments is the

Division of Education. Mr. Phil Larsen teaches

Secondary Curriculum and Methods. The goal

he has for this class is that the students will be

capable of setting goals and maintaining

discipline for their students when they become

teachers. One of the different aspects of this

class is that the student is placed in a classroom

which pertains to their area of study (such as

math, English, or social studies). This past fall

the students were sent out into the public

schools in the area such as Oak Grove Middle,

Palm Harbor Middle, and Largo Middle

School. The idea is for the student to observe

the middle school teachers’ methods of

teaching and administering discipline. The

ultimate goal is for our students to be allowed

to teach one or more class periods in these

schools.

Another student responsibility is preparing a

two week unit which involves creating lesson

plans, homework assignments, and also a test.

Students are encouraged to make a lesson plan
Being able to go out

into the field and that could one day be used in their classroom -

utilize the Sue Lulsdorf

information and

techniques studied

in the classroom

enabled me to learn

so much more

effectively than

if I had just read

about it in a book.
