The Chowan Educational Department did a fantastic job in preparing me for the Teacher field overall. There were plenty of classes that I still use knowledge from to this day. One in particular would be the classroom management class. It is very hard to understand what you would do in certain situations in a classroom setting but the professors at Chowan instructing the class give you a good understanding of many situations that could occur in a classroom environment. That class gave me the confidence and the understanding of how to run a structured class as well as behavior advice with the students. Another thing the educational classes at Chowan gave me was time in many different classroom settings. I am currently at a High School in Craven County but I got to experience the lower elementary levels all the way up to the High school level. Quite shockingly the experiences in the lower level I took plenty of classroom tools that I use in my classroom today.

Using the knowledge acquired in classrooms and in fieldwork, students of the Teacher Education Program will mold themselves into life-long learners and scholars who thrive in the pursuit of knowledge and who can recognize their own areas of needed improvement and work to remedy them. Candidates will practice a variety of instructional and classroom management skills and master ways to enhance learning for all students through technology, differentiated lessons, and data using formative and summative assessments. Chowan University Candidates will demonstrate Professionalism through fair, respectful appreciation for diverse learners, reflect on ways to improve instruction, engage in professional opportunities, and collaborate with colleagues, students, parents, and community members.
