Apply what you’ve learned in a real classroom setting. Student teaching is a full-time, daytime responsibility working with local partner schools, and includes a weekly seminar at Adelphi. It is an invaluable part of your teacher training.

The Alice Brown Early Learning Center, known as the ELC, is a bright, colorful state-of-the-art learning center for young children, located directly on our Garden City campus. It provides exceptional opportunities for future teachers to become volunteers or paid graduate assistants; observe learning; and apply teaching theories learned in classroom settings.

School of Education assistantships ease the cost of your education and help you gain valuable hands-on experience. You may be tutoring at the Literary Center, observing children at the Early Learning Center, assisting with administrative tasks, or participating in research or special projects.

Find opportunities to connect, build friendships, and network at the Future Teacher’s Association Club. A dedicated honor society, Kappa Delta Pi, as well as volunteer opportunities within local schools, give Adelphi’s education students exceptional opportunities outside the classroom.

What’s it like outside the classroom at Adelphi? With over 90 clubs and activities, exciting athletics and intramurals, there’s lots of student life. Sarah Carbain, a future teacher, shares her story.
