Teachers have the power to change lives by opening new worlds for students and inspiring them to achieve their goals. An Education degree from Western prepares students to teach various age groups and subject areas. The program focuses on innovative teaching theories, incorporating service-learning projects, technology integration, and project-based learning. Students gain essential skills such as classroom management, special education, lesson design, and instructional technology. Through hands-on experiences in classrooms as practicum students, they apply theories learned in class, practice real-world teaching, and explore future career paths. This program lays a solid foundation for students, helping them seamlessly transfer into a bachelor’s degree program, which is required for a teaching career.
