The English/Language Arts concentration is for students who are also pursuing a Secondary Education License. The major is jointly administered by the College of Education and the English department. Students must fulfill requirements in General Education, the English Language Arts major (which includes a foreign language requirement), and a Secondary Education License.
“Why St. Francis? To be honest, every school is going to teach you to write lesson plans and implement them, but no other school is going to do it with the zeal of St. Francis. Here you do not simply learn methodology, you learn to cultivate the whole person. From my experience with the College of Education, I will never forget how I learned to view teaching as more than a profession and a class as more than a group of students. I instead walked away with the realization that teaching could never simply be just a job, and that a classroom of 30 kids is seen instead as a room of 30 unique and special individuals, each capable of changing the world.”
