Block Courses

As an Elementary Education major, you will take a variety of courses to develop your content knowledge, learning theory, teaching strategies, and assessment techniques.

In order to provide a seamless progression through the skills of teaching, most methods courses (as well as other courses that support or provide foundations for the methods courses) are sequenced in a developmental manner. To accomplish these goals, certain courses are scheduled in blocks, with each blocked course requiring at least ten hours of field experience outside of class time.

You are required to adhere to the block scheduling of these courses and to the sequence in which the blocks occur in each curriculum. You are urged to check with your advisors to plan well in advance for the scheduling of the course blocks.
