Catalog Year 2018-2019
If you want to be a teacher, you will be making a number of decisions: What age group do you want to teach? What subject do you want to teach? Will you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/bachelor's) or graduate (fifth year/master's)
teaching program? Which school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take.
Students interested in teaching at the elementary level (Pre-K to eighth grade) will want to follow a course of study that is multidisciplinary since they will teach many subjects. There are a number of Elementary Teacher Education programs
in the Portland area.
Students interested in teaching at the secondary level (middle or high school) will want to follow a course of study that reflects the major area they wish to teach (i.e., math, social science, science, health/PE, language arts, etc.).
MHCC offers a number of education courses to help you determine if teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a four-year university:
