Standards-based unit planning, with an emphasis on student learning and reflection on teaching, are the foci during the extended supervised field experience. Classroom management skills, including behavioral considerations, reflection, and techniques are explored and applied in the elementary classroom.
Elementary Methods: Literacy and Social Studies (EDUC 321) - Integration of theoretical and practical approaches to literacy and social studies instruction in grades K-6. Application of curriculum development (lesson planning and cross-curricular integration), literacy instruction and assessment, children's literature, pedagogical practices and arts integration through extended field experiences.
Our students come from diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds, with a high percentage of first generation college students. By the time Keene State College students complete their undergraduate experience they develop critical thinking, creative inquiry, intercultural competence, civic engagement, and commitment to well-being that will serve them as active citizens and lifelong learners. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who will support the College's ongoing efforts to help students become responsible global citizens.
At Keene State College, we share an appreciation of diversity, equity and multiculturalism as key elements to academic excellence. We seek faculty with a desire to provide support, mentorship and direction to prepare students to work within diverse communities. One of our aspirations is to develop social change agents with the knowledge, skills and experience to compassionately engage with their future employers, peers, and those they serve from diverse backgrounds. Faculty actively engage in collaborative work and service within the department and across the College to advance future-thinking curricular and co-curricular approaches that strengthen our Liberal Education focus and achieve the College's goals for inclusion and excellence as outlined in the College's Strategic Plan.
The Education Department at Keene State College is in the ongoing process of enhancing the curriculum in our program to better prepare our future educators for today’s diverse classrooms.
