Education Programs

The Education Program at LCCC offers two Associate of Arts degree options to choose from based on the ages with whom you wish to work: Elementary and Early Childhood Education Program and Secondary Education Program. 

Elementary and Early Childhood Education Program

Early childhood educators play a critical role in the development of children - helping them build a strong foundation for future learning, behavior and health. Students in the Elementary and Early Childhood Education Program learn how to create engaging lessons and activities to meet the needs of diverse learners. They also participate in classroom observations and a practicum in a school setting.

After completing the education program at LCCC, students must transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor's degree before applying for teacher licensure. Graduates often find jobs in early childhood and elementary schools.

Secondary Education Program

Secondary Education Programs typically develop educators to teach in middle school and high school, or beyond. Often educators at this level will specialize in a subject, or subjects, of their choosing. Students in the education program learn how to create engaging lessons and activities to meet the needs of different learners. They also participate in classroom observations and a practicum in a school setting.
