Education
Although
there is no department of education at Oberlin, students have
various opportunities to assess their interest in teaching
and other careers in education. The Curricular Committee on
Education has identified courses, listed below, that are related
to the study of education. Included are courses concerning
the role of education in society, the role of education as
a profession, and educational pedagogy. The Committee encourages
students to consider these courses, along with a wide variety
of other liberal arts and sciences courses, to prepare for
teaching in independent or public elementary and secondary
schools, and in order to assess their interest in undertaking
professional programs in education at the graduate level.
It
is also possible for students to gain supervised experience
in tutoring and classroom teaching. The Committee maintains
a list of faculty members who are prepared to offer private
readings in education, sponsor winter term projects, or advise
students on graduate education programs and employment opportunities.
The Center for Service and Learning and the Office of Career
Services may also be consulted.
Five-Step
Program with the Bank Street College of Education. The
Bank Street College of Education, a leading-edge institution
of early childhood and elementary-level education in New York
City, has a cooperative agreement with Oberlin College whereby
Oberlin students may study at both institutions for minimally
five years. Upon completion of this program they will have
an Oberlin B.A., an M.S. in Education from Bank Street College,
and New York State Elementary Teacher Certification, which
is reciprocal with that of the State of Ohio and a large number
of other states. The Education Committee provides advice on
the program. Details of the program are available in the Career
Center.
