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 a total
of five years. Upon completion of this program they will have
an Oberlin B.A., a 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.
