Associate of Art - Oregon Transfer
Catalog 2007-08

Dr. Dain Smith: 503-491-7105 - Room AC 2671 Dain.Smith@mhcc.edu
If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher, you will be making
a number of decisions: What age group do you want to teach? What subject do
you want to teach? Will you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/Bachelors)
or graduate (fifth year/Masters) teaching program? Which school do you want
to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate
courses to take. MHCC offers a number of education courses to help you determine
if teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a four-year university.
Three courses, ED142, ED200 and ED209A/B, are recommended for students who want
to more fully explore the profession before beginning an educational program.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:
- demonstrate the reflective practitioner skills of observation and reflection
- demonstrate their writing skills
- provide an educational plan for their preferred Teacher Education program.
The sample two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the requirements
of the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AA/OT) from MHCC and to prepare students
to complete a baccalaureate degree in Education from Eastern Oregon University.
Education program requirements vary widely at the baccalaureate level so a student’s
course work must be planned in accordance with their chosen transfer institution.
Students completing an Associate of Arts degree are strongly encouraged to work
closely with the MHCC Education faculty adviser and their transfer institution
to develop a meaningful course of study at MHCC.
The following sample assumes that two years of High School foreign language
were completed. If not, two terms of college-level modern language must be completed.
