ABOUT
THE TEACHER LECTURER PROGRAM
Because of a lack of minority
educators, both in public education and higher education, teacher
education candidates often lack role models who possess
valuable information about educating minority children. At a time when the
percentage of minority students
in the public school population is growing
at a rapid rate, this information is crucial for success for all children.
The purpose of the Teacher
Lecturer Program is to enable teacher education candidates to interact
with minority teachers and to hear of their experiences in education,
especially experiences dealing with effective teaching in the public
school classroom. The Teacher Lecturer will also interact with College of
Education and Human Services faculty.
As part of the Critical
Thinking conceptual framework of the School of Education,
teacher
candidates and faculty are asked to look at multiple perspectives on
teaching and learning. The Teacher Lecturer offers a unique perspective
that allows participants to examine the ideas of the speaker along with
their own beliefs and practices.
