Experiential
Through content, general education, and professional education courses, students absorb the knowledge they need to educate and inspire young people. Students then put that knowledge into practice through field experience opportunities and a semester of full-time student teaching.
Student-Centered
Bluefield State College's Teacher Education program is student centered. Courses and field experiences focus on active learning and value student engagement. Faculty members partner with students as they prepare for the national Praxis exams, arrange their student teacher placements and anticipate leading their own classroom.
West Virginia Proud
Many Education students aim to invest their talents back into regional and state schools. Field experiences are conducted in diverse regional pubic school classrooms in southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. Students learn how to nurture young learners coming from this social, cultural and economic background.
