Elementary Education

Do you…

        Enjoy working with children?

        Want to make a positive impact on their lives?

        Want to make positive contributions to your community?

 

If you answered “yes” to the above questions, then consider becoming a teacher and get your start at State Fair Community College. Teaching is the profession that shapes America’s future. The challenges and rewards for those who choose to teach have never been greater.

 

The AAT degree was created by Missouri four-year colleges and community colleges and provides students who have earned an AAT degree at SFCC the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in Education at a Missouri four-year college or university. Earning your AAT at SFCC makes the transition to four-year universities a smooth process and is very economical.

 

A partnership between SFCC and the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), which is effective fall 2008, provides students with the opportunity to enroll in a “2+1+1” program in which to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from MU. Students spend two years earning an AAT at SFCC, one year studying at MU-Columbia in the College of Education, and the final year conducting field experience through MU’s nationally recognized Senior Year On-Site program.

 

The yearlong internship component places students in one of 22 MU Partnership for Educational Renewal (MPER) school districts throughout Missouri. During this phase, elementary education majors rotate through each elementary grade level, gaining a broader understanding of the school’s entire learning community, which helps students determine their grade-level and subject interests.
