Field Experiences
Bloomsburg's network with school districts goes beyond the placement of our student teachers. Each year several hundred middle and high school students come to campus to participate in our Husky Dog Pound business plan competition, directed by our business education faculty. Most business education majors have an "A-Ha" moment once they first begin student teaching. You'll be prepared for the classroom, but true teaching experience is what ties it all together. Student teachers work with a supervising instructor and an experienced cooperating teacher who work with you as you develop your skills. While gaining a breadth of experience is important, you'll have the opportunity to remain at one school throughout your placement and gradually pick up a full teaching schedule.
