  • Getting a degree to be a teacher requires you to take many different courses. Even if you are not majoring in education, you might want to take a few education classes to help you when you get your first teaching job.

    Instructional Technology

    In this course, students learn the different technological skills needed to teach in a classroom. The course covers not only the use of computers, but also cameras, PDAs, GPS, CD players and calculators.

    Philosophy

    You can use any number of philosophy classes to satisfy a degree's education requirement. Basic classes explore the philosophers of the past and require students to read the works of people like Plato, Descartes and Nietzsche.

    Education in a Multicultrual Society

    With the U.S. population being so diverse, teachers need to treat all their students equally without regard for their race, ethnicity or social class. A course in multicultural education shows you how to deal with students across all classes and how to give them all the educational opportunities you can.

    Organization and Management of the Classroom

    In this course, students learn how to organize their classroom for elementary, middle or high school classes. The material focuses on environmental factors, as well as legal regulations, time management and routines. You will also learn how to alter or prevent unproductive behavior.

    Teaching Methods

    The methods discussed in this class included discussion, paperwork, tests, lectures and videos. Some methods may work when dealing with older students, while others (including manipulatives like blocks) should be used for teaching small children.
