Childhood Education
"At Brevard College, I learned the basics of preparing lessons and classroom management. The emphasis placed on critical thinking skills during my time at BC has been incredibly important. It helps me to be able to explain concepts to students and figure things out that I am unfamiliar with so that I can convey them to students." -Jeffrey, Brevard College Graduate.
In the Childhood Education program, you'll have the chance to choose between two concentrations: Early Childhood Education (B-K) or Elementary Education (K-6).
Both concentrations emphasize project-based and other active learning strategies and reflection; students apply what they have learned in their college classrooms to help facilitate their activities in public and private school settings, after-school programs, area camps, and other field placement settings.
