Winn Parish and Caddo Parish buses filled with middle and high school students exploring the prestigious profession of teaching arrived on Louisiana Tech's campus this morning to gain a taste of college life as an education major. Their day began with a tour of the campus followed by elementary and secondary education class experiences. By noon, an additional team from A. E. Phillips Laboratory School and Cedar Creek senior, Ashley Palmer, joined the event in the Clinical Residency Center for afternoon adventures.
Future secondary education majors experienced team teaching from UTeach director, Dr. Laura Bostic, and Secondary Faculty member, Mrs. Traci Walker, followed by a visit to an afternoon UTeach class in the Think Tank. Future elementary education majors joined Dr. Amy Vessel's library science class for some co-planning as they finished writing lesson plans for their clinical experience with their bulldog buddies. Elementary majors scaffolded the experience for their visitors as they team taught at A. E. Phillips Laboratory School in the classrooms of Claudia Wagner and mentor Bess Decuir with her resident Anna Rose Chestnut. Their authentic experience was followed by a visit to Dr. Lynne Nielsen's mathematics methodology class for a highly engaged discussion to better understand fractions.
All education majors and school leaders were greeted by Dean Don Schillinger, Associate Dean Dawn Basinger, and Recruiting Expert Colin Bailey as everyone learned more about the TEAM Model and the many opportunities that await them in the Louisiana Tech Teacher Preparation Program. Tech's elementary program has been recognized nationally as the #1 program in Louisiana and #1, #2, and #4 in the nation. Likewise, Tech's UTeach program continues to gain national prestige for it's high retention and large numbers of participants, with much thanks to master teachers, Chris Campbell and Glenn Larson. The event ended with all students learning how to make our bulldog sign and encouraged to become LOYAL BLUE! We hope to see these students on Louisiana Tech's campus in the near future and welcome them back for a visit very soon!
The Clinical Residency Center plans to host additional recruiting events each quarter for middle school and high school students. Contact Dr. Amy Vessel, Clinical Residency Center Director, at avessel@latech.edu if your school district would like to plan a special event to learn more about our preparation programs.
