Influence Student Lives
Teaching requires knowledge about the characteristics of learners, social structures of schools, families and communities, assessment techniques, classroom practices, law, statistics, technology, curriculum, and resources. Students will investigate this knowledge and combine it with extensive experiences in a variety of schools.
