[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all- not one teacher should major in Education as an undergraduate. It is a giant waste of time and money. Teachers should major in a liberal arts major of some sort (broad span of humanities, literature, history, econ) and then, after graduation do the 15 credits or a masters in education to receive accreditation. Make sure that includes plenty of in classroom practicum. [/quote] In my native Canada, there is no standalone education major. Prospective teachers stay in school longer (5-6 years instead of 4) and come out with two degrees, a bachelor's in their major and a Bachelor of Education (or do a 2 year ed. degree following their bachelor's). There's no 4-year fluff degrees in "the art and science of elementary school teaching." [/quote]
