You know that from experience. If you think your calling is in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/handbook.pdf\">education<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably had teachers who inspired you. You may also sense how difficult it is to be an excellent teacher. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-majors-and-programs\/majors\/education-elementary-k-6\/\">best undergraduate Christian education programs<\/a>, you\u2019ll learn the skills and knowledge to perform a teacher\u2019s complex tasks well. You\u2019ll also grow in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/christian-and-urban\/student-life\/\">character and wisdom<\/a> needed to become a positive, life-shaping influence on your students.<\/p>\n<h2>Knowledge that serves people<\/h2>\n<p>Effective teaching requires competence in several areas. Look for a school that will train you in each of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Curriculum development:<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re planning a lesson or a semester, curriculum development requires coordinating your knowledge of several things, including the subject, appropriate methods to teach it, and your students\u2019 developmental stage.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Teaching methods:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need to develop an understanding of different kinds of students and their learning styles. You\u2019ll also learn various strategies for approaching different kinds of subject matter.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Classroom management:<\/strong> Learning to keep a large group of children engaged and productive is vital, whether you\u2019re teaching kindergarten or high school juniors.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Subject knowledge:<\/strong> Particularly to teach in secondary schools, knowledge of a particular field of study is essential.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Technology:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need to learn to use technology that enhances your students\u2019 learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best education programs will also offer <b>real-world experience<\/b>. Teaching is a profession focused on communicating with people. The opportunity to put what you\u2019re learning into practice plays a major role in your development as an educator.<\/p>\n<p>Also, look for programs that emphasize vocational <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/academics\/\">mentorship<\/a>. Mentors who care about you and your calling can encourage you by identifying your strengths and help you meet your greatest challenges. They\u2019ll be invested in helping you become an effective professional.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, make sure your program focuses on preparing you for your <a href=\"https:\/\/mn.gov\/pelsb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state licensure exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Wisdom and character that shape lives<\/h2>\n<p>As a Christian, you know that teaching is a calling, not just a job. Learning skills, gaining experience, and even getting your teaching license is not enough. To serve well, look for a program with a solid<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-majors-and-programs\/core-curriculum\/christian-studies-core\/\"> biblical and theological curriculum <\/a>and a commitment to helping you grow in Christian character.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/student-life\/faith-and-learning\/\">Bible<\/a> doesn\u2019t offer detailed teaching methodologies or curriculum development strategies. But it still has much to say about the teaching profession. Scripture gives you foundational knowledge about God, humans, and creation. This provide the big picture you need to understand any Christian calling. The Bible also offers teaching models for you to reflect on, from the book of Proverbs to Jesus and the apostles.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a program in which your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/academics\/faculty\/\">professors<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/student-life\/\">classmates<\/a> will care about your character and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/student-life\/spiritual-life-at-north-central-university\/\">your faith<\/a>, not just the development of your skills. If you\u2019ve had teachers who inspired you, most likely you were impressed by their patience, kindness, generosity or other virtues. Their knowledge and their character together made them influential.<\/p>\n<h2>A sacred calling<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/currentparents\/parent-info-form\/\">Parents<\/a>\u2014and society as a whole\u2014place a lot of trust in teachers. It\u2019s a noble profession and a sacred calling. To prepare for it well, look for a program that will provide knowledge and skills, practical experience, wise mentors, and a Christian perspective.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\">North Central University<\/a> to learn more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentral.edu\/academics\/undergraduate-majors-and-programs\/majors\/education-elementary-k-6\/\">school of education<\/a>.
