CHAIRMAN DR. PHILLIP AMATO EDUCATION From the beginning, the Emerson corriculum was designed to train students to become professors and teachers. In the 1880’s this training was aimed at preparing young men and women to be teachers of elocution and oratory in colleges and secondary schools. By 1900, a group of courses called Pedagogy had been established. These courses were designed to inculcate in students the principles of teaching. Seniors taking these courses were required to deliver lectures, to conduct class, and were subjected to criticism by the faculty, who also gave suggestions for developing and improving teaching techniques. By 1940, The Education Department had greatly expanded, offering a wide variety of courses and teaching experiences. Courses were expanded to include Management, Psychology, and Personal Devel- opment, Principles and Methods of Teaching, Educational Psychology, Educational Gymnastics, Commu- nity Drama and the Evolution of Expression. Today, the Education Department offers both a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, with a major in Elementary Education, and concentrations in Creative Dramatics, Learning Disabilities, Special Education, and Speech. The goals of the Department are the same as those of the early years, particularly in terms of preparing students for teaching careers within contemporary educational systems and those of the future. In order to achieve these goals, the Department has established two basic objectives. One is to provide a com- prehensive foundation of theoretical concepts and practices in teaching. Another is to offer continual opportunities for students to develop teaching skills through field experiences. Within this process, the various programs attempt to help the student develop an awareness of communication and its relationship to learning and the educational process. It has been these goals and objectives, aiong with the strong individual-ness of the Emerson student that accounts for the success of the teacher education programs since the college began. 27
