The field experience component of the teacher preparation program emphasizes the importance of actual classroom experience as a foundation for professional knowledge and as a means to learn about the teaching profession. So, whether you have wanted to be a teacher ever since you can remember, or have only now begun to see teaching as a suitable career for you, the clinical experiences required by your education courses will provide you with opportunities to explore the profession in a practical, hands-on way.
