Student Teaching
Student teaching, your professional internship, is the capstone experience of our various teacher preparation education programs. Student teachers are placed at cooperating school districts in the local and surrounding areas. Students may petition to be considered for partial student teaching abroad or at a Native American boarding school – Pierre Indian Learning Center in Pierre, South Dakota, in combination with a Pennsylvania placement. College supervisors and cooperating teachers work in partnership to mentor the student teacher and provide a quality learning experience.
Academic Service-Learning
Many curricular and co-curricular opportunities will arise that will help prepare you to enter the field of education. These include reading to children at libraries, tutoring Spanish-speaking children and adults that are learning English, volunteering as a science fair judge, tutoring local students and many more.
