Early Childhood Education - Marietta College

Early Childhood Education from Marietta College is a Campus Bachelor Early Childhood Education degree that prepares you for a Education career. At Marietta College we seek to prepare candidates who will be educator leaders in their schools. You will be provided with many opportunities for first-hand experiences working with students in your chosen teaching area. Starting your very first semester, our field experience program will introduce you to the real world of teaching. During the rest of your time here, field experiences are your chance to practice the knowledge and skills you're learning on campus. Along the way, you'll work with professors who have taught in a variety of schools and who are here to guide you through each step of your particular professional development plan. During their final semester, teacher education students complete twelve weeks of supervised full time student teaching in a local k-12 classroom. This clinical experience is documented in the Marietta College Capstone Portfolio, which is reviewed at the end of the student teaching semester. The Capstone Portfolio is an electronic document that allows students to select and present artifacts and reflections from coursework and clinical experiences that demonstrate their professional knowledge and skills. Artifacts include written work, photographs, video clips, technology projects, and feedback from supervisors. Students present their finished portfolios to education department faculty during a capstone portfolio presentation day at the end of the student teaching semester. Marietta College has consistently ranked in the top quartile of Ohio colleges preparing teachers. Graduates are highly successful in passing Praxis II and Praxis III assessments for licensure.
