Teacher Education Transfer

The Teacher Education Transfer Program prepares students interested in transferring to a four-year college program. Students in this program begin training to become teachers, and have opportunities to explore the diverse world of education and ways to work effectively within it. This curriculum is designed for students who are interested in transferring to an Elementary Education program at a four-year college and who may not be eligible to complete the requirements of the A.A.T. degree. While this curriculum is designed to prepare students to pursue a bachelor’s degree program at the college or university level, students are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer. The program requires minimum grades of “C” in all courses.

Candidates for graduation in this program must pay for and take the ETS National Teacher Examination: PRAXIS I test before graduation. PRAXIS is offered several times during the year. Students should see their academic advisers or the program head for more information.

Suggested Sequence of Courses

** All BCCC students must meet the College’s Computer Literacy requirements in order to receive a degree or a certificate. All first-time, full- and part-time degree and certificate seeking students are required to complete the PRE 100  course within the first six credits.

Program Learning Outcomes


  • The teacher effectively uses multiple representations and explanations of disciplinary concepts that capture key ideas and link them to students’ prior understandings.

  • The teacher has enthusiasm for the discipline(s) he/she teaches and sees connections to everyday life.

  • The teacher understands how learning occurs - how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and develop habits of mind - and knows how to use instructional strategies that promote student learning.

  • The teacher stimulates student reflection on prior knowledge and links new ideas to already familiar ideas, making connections to students’ experiences, providing opportunities for active engagement, manipulation, and testing of ideas and materials and encouraging students to assume responsibility for shaping their learning goals.

  • The teacher identifies and designs instruction appropriate to students’ stages of development, learning styles, strengths, and needs.

  • The teacher uses teaching approaches that are sensitive to the multiple experiences of learners and that address different learning and performance modes.

  • The teacher varies his/her role in the instructional process (i.e., instructor, facilitator, coach, audience) in relation to the content, purposes of instruction, and the needs of students.

  • The teacher uses educational technology to broaden student knowledge about technology, to deliver instruction to students at different levels and paces, and for advanced levels of learning.

  • The teacher engages students in individual and group learning activities that help them develop the motivation to achieve - for example, by relating lessons to students’ personal interests, allowing students to have choices in their learning and leading students to ask questions and pursue problems that are meaningful to them.
