Four Rowan College at Gloucester County (RCGC) Education majors took center stage during the college’s November board meeting to receive accolades and applause for their exceptional performance within a new field placement initiative for education majors.

RCGC Education majors now have the opportunity to observe the teaching profession, first-hand, when they participate in RCGC’s new field experience course. Students are assigned classrooms in a special education, elementary, middle or high school — depending on the grade level that they plan to teach — in one of the local school districts partnering with the college. Over a five-week period, for a total of 10 hours, students examine the techniques and styles of experienced teachers in real classrooms. The course was launched on a voluntary participation basis in the fall 2018 semester and will soon become a requirement for all students pursuing an Education degree.
