Education as Personal Growth — The nature of human life and educa- tion, the great philosophers, past and present, the nature, theories, and principles of learning and teaching are all examined throughout the var- ious courses offered. Education as a Profession — Stu- dents examine the processes of mea- surement and eualuation, develop the basic competencies of teachers in the tools of their trade, both tradi- tional and innovative, and learn the foundational aspects of education and of the application of the princi- ples of mainstreaming to the varied phases of education. All Methods and Materials courses and the Student Teaching Program link the newly acquired knowledge of student teachers to the real school world and provide for expanding in- volvement and responsibilities in the Education student teaching experience. Thus, through observation and imitation of outstanding teachers, educational concepts are grounded in experience, and theory is intergrated with prac- tice.
