The Educational Studies department, along with the Carleton Career Center, host another successful Teacher Panel.

Our Student Department Advisors for the 2009-2010 academic year are Katie Reed and Daniel Bernal. Both seniors, Katie is majoring in history with an educational studies concentration. Daniel is a math major and enrolled in our teacher licensure program. SDAs help inform students about courses, prerequisites, college and departmental requirements, and supplement information and advice available through advisers and published materials. Both Katie and Daniel will also be our student representatives to the department's Teacher Education Committee. Welcome Katie and Daniel!

On Wednesday, October 28th, interested Carleton students are invited to our annual Alumni Teaching Panel. Come hear the trials, but mostly tribulations, of current teachers and student teachers in the field. Our alumni represented experiences from schools all over the metro area: urban, suburban, and charter. Students will have the chance to ask questions, visit with alumni, and eat pizza. This event is co-sponsored with the Career Center.
