7I: Early Childhood Education

 On Friday October 11th I attended the Education program meeting in Davis Hall, room 211. Since a very young age I knew I wanted to work with children.  I declared my major during orientation but I didn't really know how much there was to it, and that is why I attended this meeting.

Dr. Marx explained all of the classes I need to take before I can be accepted into the education program.  She said that I need to start thinking about a second major outside the school of education. I also need to take MAT 105, ENG 112, EDU 206, and SED 225.  In order to be in the education program here at Southern I need to pass the Praxis I exam and maintain at least a 2.7 GPA.

Getting so much information thrown at me all at once definitely was a bit overwhelming.  The meeting was very helpful though in terms of preparing me for what classes I will have to take.  I know that getting into the Education program will be a lot of work but it is something that I am willing to work hard at and accomplish.
