Exploring Teaching As A Profession (ETAP) Learning Community

ETAP students at the 2007 Children's
Festival and Health Celebration.

"ETAP is a truly unique opportunity to gain first-hand field experience while thinking deeply about teaching and what it means to provide a 'good education.' Under the guidance of experienced teacher-mentors from the UNCG School of Education faculty, you examine and discuss different understandings of the value and purpose of education, consider the special challenges and opportunities facing schools today, and explore different possibilities for meaningful careers in education. At the same time, you meet and make friends with other students who share your interests, receive personal attention and support from your instructor, participate in study skills, career development and diversity workshops, go on field experiences in the public schools and have some fun in the process."
-Dr. John Sopper, Director, Grogan College Learning Communities Program

"Students in UNS 105 examine how teachers can become agents of change. As teachers we never know how our actions in the classroom, or how we work with a child and her family, will impact their future. Teachers today must be aware of all of the social issues that influence learning and that what we can do DOES make a difference."
-Dr. Stephanie Kurtts, ETAP Faculty Fellow, School of Education, Department of Specialized Education Services

"I look forward to working with a School of Education faculty fellow and ETAP students. My role is to host meetings and arrange for special guest speakers to broaden your scope of teaching as a profession. We invite ETAP residents and all students interested in teaching to Teacher Education Connection events. "
-Ginger Parnell, Director of Recruitment, Retention and Professional Development, School of Education
