The Teacher Learning Community (TLC) located in Cawthon Hall is available to first-year students who are interested in, or exploring a career in Education. If you have ever considered being a teacher, this learning community is the perfect opportunity for you. The goal of this learning community is to give you a chance to work with students in schools and the community while creating a close-knit supportive environment where Freshmen will have the opportunity to meet other students who are interested in Education. Together, students will explore the field of education through courses which include "Service Learning" experiences, where they work with children in their community as well as a school setting. These courses are taught in classrooms located within the residence hall. At least one liberal studies course and two prerequisite Education courses will be taught. Courses in this program will focus on issues of diversity and school's responses to diversity. The Teacher Learning Community is your opportunity to explore becoming a teacher who makes a difference in a child's life. To receive information about the Teacher Learning Community, select "yes" for the appropriate question on the Housing Agreement.
