I am a sophomore and currently taking two courses related to my major (middle grades edu) So far they have been helpful. One is about diversity in the classroom, which will be helpful because America is a melting pot and there will be kids from all types of cultures and ethnicity’s in my class in the future and this is preparing me to deal with them. and the other is about teacher etiquette. Of course that will be helpful for obvious reasons, there are a million things that are inappropriate to do or say around children, somethings that you would not even think. So in conclusion these courses are great.

it would mean that you were serious enough about persuing education as a career that you actually educated yourself about it first.

It starts with interaction how to’s and accomdates to your lifestyle. The type of lifestyle that is experienced in the course displays the lifestyle of the correlating profession. So if you like the course then you might end up liking the career. Vice versa. Just replace the verb like with many others and you’ll get the same point.

It depends what course in education you are referring too. I personally, would volunteer in a classroom and get first had experience.

Well I am not an education Major (I majored in Nursing)… But I can tell you that what you learn in school is beneficial… but the real learning comes with experience. I think that goes for any job out there. Courses in school and Internships will give you somewhat of an idea of what to expect, but I think (from my experience) the real world will be totally different!! There is nothing like graduating and being on your own for the first time.. Go for something you enjoy!!

good luck! =)

A lot actually.

I took a foods and nutrition course just for the hell of it to do alot of cooking and fooling around.. in fact, there was alot of academic studying.. which suprisingly made me super interested.. learning nutrition, cultural foods, diseases, so on and so forth. I was interested in picking this as my career but sadly, my marks weren’t good enough.. but in the long wrong, this has effected my life alot, on how well i eat, and helping others.

..just a story that resides to this question =)
