Venue description

The College of Education is the fourth largest college at FAU with a fall 2006 enrollment of 3,238. Nearly one?third of our students (1033) are over the age of 30, a reflection of our service to individuals seeking a second career in education, practicing educators pursing advanced degrees or certification, as well as students working toward a degree in education or an allied health field. Most of our students are Florida residents and 32% represent ethnic minorities. The College provides opportunities for students to earn income while learning to become effective teachers. Project Good FIT (First Introduction into Teaching) places students during their freshman or sophomore year in college in a local school as a paid instructional intern under the supervision of a mentor teacher; Project SMaRT (Substituting with Mentors and Realistic Teaching) places juniors and seniors into schools as paid substitute teachers under the supervision of a university mentor; Project AIT (Accelerated Induction Into Teaching) places highly qualified student teachers in their own classrooms for one semester under the supervision of a university mentor.
