Why be a Teacher?
Teaching is a rewarding occupation. As a professional educator, you will shape the future of our society. Teachers have the capacity to impact multiple generations. In order to make a positive impact, we at University of the Ozarks believe future educators should grapple with social issues and some big ideas in education:
- How do we engage our students through literature, science, mathematics, and technology?
- What does it mean to understand?
- How can we use education theory to shape meaningful educational experiences?
- How can we expand a student’s knowledge of cultures different from their own?
We believe that education is central to a democratic and socially-just society where all members value academic achievement, personal responsibility, social responsibility, and fairness.
