Online schools that teach Education courses
Hello --
I'm seeking out online schools that teach Education courses.
My graduate degree was in Education (with 20 credit hours) so that would naturally be the best fit for me to teach as an adjunct.
(My full introduction is here.)
Anyone have suggestions for schools that would be worth applying to for adjunct positions?
Thanks!

With the possible exception of business courses, education courses might comprise the largest segment of distance learning courses offered across the USA. I suggest that you draw some concentric circles centered on your home and begin to check the local places first. The opportunities are too numerous to list. -
Thanks for the response -- I did not know that my field was so popular! Good to hear, and it makes sense, because teachers need flexible opportunities to move forward.
I'm seeking online-only schools at this point because my region is very dry for jobs, culture, etc. and I'm seeking to move before the end of summer.
I'd love to hear from anyone who is currently an adjunct for Teacher Education courses and can give me some specific thoughts on the schools they work for, the schools which are the easiest point-of-entry for new adjuncts, the courses they teach, etc.
Thank you!

Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults.
Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods
•Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree.
•Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts.
•Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs. | |  |  |  |  | Tags for this Thread Posting Permissions - You may not post new threads
