if i want to be a teacher but i have to got to a JC first, what classes should i be taking in the JC?

BEFORE you register for any classes at JC, contact the 4-year university that you plan on transferring to and ask them for a list of acceptable courses.

Typically, you can take all of your core classes (English 101, Biology 101, etc.) at JC, but you want to be sure that they will transfer before you waste your time and money.

The local community college where I live has a partnership with many universities in my state for particular fields of study, however I found out the hard way (bad advise from a JC counselor) that I had taken 2 classes at JC that did not count toward my transfer to a 4-year university.

These are the kind of classes you will need to take in a JC if you want to become a teacher.

The Classes will have a Different name to them.

Introduction to Child Development

Early child Development

Communication in the preschool

The Preschool Child

First Aid and CPR( a Must)

Home-Child-Community Relations

Infant and Toddler

Child Abuse Education

Health and safety for children

These are some of the classes that you will need to take at a JC and then Transfer to a 4 year. You will also have to take classes for your General Ed Classes. I hope this will help.

The same as you would at a 4 year university: English, speech, government, history, sociology, human development or child development, sciences, and education course or two, maybe a foreign language, geography. Regardless of where you go to school, the first two years are largely the same.

Before doing anything else, call the counseling department at the junior college you will attend. Your counselor/adviser can assist you in planning the next two years. This person can help with financial aid and smooth your transition to college.
