This yearlong course is the foundational course for students in the Academy of Education. The Academy contains two education programs, Early Childhood Education and the Teacher Academy of Maryland. The purpose of this course is to introduce and provide a foundation for students interested in a career as a teacher. Presenting both historical and current views of teaching and education, this course encourages students to think deeply, broadly, and systematically about the components of teaching, what teachers do, and whether teaching is an appropriate career choice for them. In the course students will develop research and theory-based views of educational history, teaching practices, various contexts of teaching and teachers, and contemporary issues related to teacher education.
