Teacher
Licensure Program
Two very important meetings regarding the MHC
teacher licensure program are coming up in November. They are:
Informational Session on the MHC Teacher Licensure
Program
Did you know that you have to apply to the MHC teacher licensure
program? Do you know what subject licenses are available through
MHC? All students interested in teaching at the early childhood
(PreK-2), elementary (1-6), middle school (5-8), secondary school
(8-12), visual art or music level should come to an informational
meeting on Wednesday, November 12, at 4:30 pm, in Room 301 of
the Reese Psychology and Education Building. We now offer 16 different
subject areas. Find out how and when to apply, what courses to
take prior to applying, and what opportunities are available in
the education field that would be enhanced by the education courses
and/or teaching experience here at MHC.
There have been some state-mandated changes to
all Massachusetts teacher licensure programs in recent years,
and it is important that all students planning to apply to the
MHC teacher licensure program come to this meeting to make sure
they will have taken all of the required courses and tests prior
to submitting an application to the teacher licensure application
committee in the spring of junior year.
Teaching during January Term Have you always
wanted to teach? Do you enjoy helping other people learn new things?
Are you an international student who wants to gain an insider's
view of American public schools? Are you planning a career in
early childhood, elementary, middle, secondary, or visual art
or music education? If you answered yes to any of these questions,
Education 332j or 324j, Observing and Assisting in Schools, may
be the January Term course for you.
Students interested in teaching in early childhood
(grades PreK-2), elementary (grades 1-6), middle (5-8), or secondary
(8-12), schools during January Term should attend the information
session on Wednesday, November 12, at 6:30 pm in Room 304 of the
Reese Psychology and Education Building. This meeting is required
in order to take this course; if you cannot attend, please call
Lenore Carlisle (early childhood or elementary) at x2189 or Bev
Bell (middle or secondary) at x3300 to request permission of the
instructor. This course is required for students seeking teacher
licensure.
Flu
(Influenza) Vaccine Available at Health Center
The MHC Health Center is now booking appointments
for the flu vaccine to be administered on Friday, November 7.
The cost is $15. Please call the Health Center at x2121 to make
your appointment. There are limited amounts of the vaccine available,
so call as soon as possible. The Massachusetts Department of Public
Health recommends that the following groups of people receive
the vaccine: people over 50 years old; those with heart disease,
cystic fibrosis, asthma, lung disease, diabetes, kidney disease,
and immune system disorders; or any healthy person (age 5-49)
who wants to avoid getting the flu. For more information, go to
