education can be a labor of love.
The Early Childhood Education program at Ferris teaches a broad spectrum of courses.
Students learn about the education of children and study early childhood development,
nutrition, first aid, children's literature and child psychology. They also
receive a broad educational background by completing general education courses
in English, mathematics, humanities and sociology.
Practical experience is another significant part of the program. Majors have
the opportunity in the child development laboratory to observe and work with
infants, toddlers and preschoolers, applying theories and techniques taught
in the classroom.
This program is standards-based, allowing teacher candidates to have two minors in addition to the planned program.
In addition to the core academic areas, the elementary education teacher candidates receive an excellent foundation in physical education and the fine arts. They learn to integrate physical education and the arts with the other core subjects and technology. All Ferris State University elementary education students also complete a required course, "Preventing Violence in Schools." Because Ferris State University has early placements in elementary schools, teacher candidates participate in more field-based experiences than teacher candidates at most other universities. Additionally, all professional courses have school-based experiences taught by instructional teams comprised of professors from the content disciplines, teacher educators, and expert K-12 teachers. These field-based experiences led by multi-disciplinary teams provide the teacher candidates with models of innovative teaching that connects theory, practice, and content in the subject areas.
