EDF 1005 is significantly useful in discerning if education is an ideal career for you. I promise you that this particular course will be significantly helpful in deciding if teaching is for you.

The textbook that we use for this course is Introduction to teaching, 3^rd Edition, by Ronald Kauchak. The ISBN is 0-13-199455-7. The text can be purchased on-campus or off-campus. There are used texts available for purchase (usually before the semester begins).

A critical component of EDF 1005 is your volunteer experience within the public schools.You must be "cleared" to be in the school systems.
