Hands-on Learning
Teacher education programs at SIUE regularly involve students in experiential learning. Opportunities for experiential learning take many forms, such as in-class activities, simulations (including virtual simulations through TeachLive), case studies, school-based projects, and undergraduate research and/or service learning projects. Our programs also make extensive use of field-based partnerships through field trips, practica and student teaching. Teacher education students at SIUE are placed in a variety of diverse field experiences that allow them to interact with children and learn through real-world application.
