This program is designed to prepare elementary and secondary teachers who are (1) professionally knowledgeable, (2) effective decision-makers, (3) technically proficient, (4) experientially broad, (5) human relations oriented, (6) socially aware, and (7) future oriented. Coursework and related experiences provide opportunities to relate principles and theories to actual practice in a variety of classrooms and schools.

Students will be guided by the outline of baccalaureate degrees and the Core Curriculum program of the Ball State University Undergraduate Catalog.

Teaching programs require additional courses in educational methods. The professional education courses are included in this listing. See the Department of Secondary, Higher, and Foundations of Education and Teachers College for the descriptions of these courses and other professional requirements of the teacher education program.
