Program Hallmarks
Hands-on experiences are essential to our programs. Students participate in field experiences in all of their education courses where they visit K-12 classrooms and work with children. Students are able to see applications of the content they are being taught in their education courses. Students also participate in a service learning project.
The University of Texas at Arlington prides itself on being one of the most diverse campuses in the nation. We are surrounded by K-12 schools that are equally diverse in terms of ethnicity, race and socioeconomic status. Our students are prepared for working with diverse populations through their field experiences in the K-12 schools.
Becoming a great teacher requires observing and receiving mentoring and coaching from master teachers. Our students are matched with an outstanding cooperating teacher in their clinical teaching semester. They work closely with teachers to receive feedback and guidance.
