海斯,菅直人。 – Tyra Hayden grew up in Ulysses in the southwestern corner of the state and hopes to teach in a rural Kansas community someday.
但首先，她想在一所城市学校教书，感受一下更大的教室环境。 海登是博彩平台大全小学高年级的学生，对她来说，选择在哪里教书很有吸引力。
博彩平台大全’s program allows students to test their career path with internships anywhere in the state or even in another state or another country if they so choose. 一些机构对学生在哪里进行学生教学有更严格的限制。
Flexibility is just one reason that 博彩平台大全 has the largest teacher’s education program in the state, says Dr. Chris Jochum, chair of the Department of Teacher Education
Fort Hays State is listening to public schools’ suggestions about what they think are some main areas to focus on these days, such as real-life classroom management and knowledge of the social needs of children.
课堂管理课程的学生在本学期参观了不同城市的大大小小的教室后，对这些问题有了一些实际的接触。
两个不同的班级分别前往道奇城和拉塞尔，而乔姆则陪同一个小组前往休斯顿。 Jochum说，学校访问是加强和提高堪萨斯州教师水平的一种方式。
“The more we get students out into classrooms, the better,” he said. “In Dodge, they get to see a lot of diversity. In Houston, it’s a different culture altogether. Our students need to work with people who think and work differently than we do.”
休斯顿小组是第一个受益于Dr. Janet and Dean Stramel教师教育旅游基金的组织。 该基金由教师教育副教授珍妮特和她的丈夫创立，旨在让博彩平台大全学生在进入真实的教学世界之前有机会体验各种文化。 The Stramels’ gift of $5,000 to create the fund was made earlier this semester.
在罗素，海登和她的同学们听到了以责任为中心的纪律，这是肖恩·亨德森校长在2015-19年在博彩平台大全工作时在博彩平台大全开设的课堂管理课程的一部分。
It’s a method that teaches students to take responsibility for their own behavior. 在罗素的第一年，亨德森已经把这个项目纳入了他的新学校，甚至还有一个重新聚焦的房间，学生们可以去那里做。
“Sometimes students just needs to get their thermostat down, and we help them see that it’s important to get themselves back where they need to be,” he said. “We play every card we have to play to help kids get through everything they go through these days.”
海登说，她最初选择博彩平台大全是因为它的小班授课和经济实惠。 一到校园，她就发现博彩平台大全有更多的东西可以提供。 她对参加学校参观的机会印象特别深刻。
“Learning that curriculum makes so much sense, approaching situations from a supportive position,” said Hayden, who wants to teach kindergarten for a few years while working on a degree in special education.
“But I believe that every single class I’ve taken – whether general education or degree courses – has prepared me for the real world,” she said. “I’m confident walking into a classroom now.”
