The mission of the Teaching/Learning Center (T/LC) is to provide teacher candidates
opportunities for hands-on, in-house, supervised practice of instructional strategies
learned in the classroom. The need to blend theory with practice in the field of education
is recognized by the State Department which requires one hour of practicum for each hour
in the classroom. Students in beginning education courses apply textbook strategies during
lab sessions with area school children in the Teaching/ Learning Center.
The T/LC has won both the Southeastern Regional Association of Teacher Educator's
Innovation in Education Award and the Christa McAuliffe Showcase of Excellence Award
presented by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. See Tutoring on the Web
Mrs. Dorothy Phillips is the Coordinator of the
