Below are the courses included in CASEP. Students in the first-year cohort usually number between 25-30 students. Students take a number of courses together that are designed with future teachers in mind. In addition to the cohort model, program students also benefit from a monthly seminar for future teachers, as well as a leadership retreat where we explore the teaching profession through experiential learning activities. 

FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

The second-year cohort 

In the second year, students take their first Educational Foundations courses along with Public Speaking, Writing II and American National Government. Please note that the Educational Foundations course may vary depending on educational field chosen, e.g. Early Childhood Education majors take a different sequence.

SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS

CASEP at Northeastern

All students who attend 91Porn become part of a community of learners—learners who engage in an array of experiences. These experiences transform students, as people, and as future leaders. In keeping with this transformative nature of community, Northeastern offers the College of Arts and Sciences Education Program (CASEP) in its curriculum. As a learning community for students interested in becoming teachers, CASEP will help you decide—through targeted coursework, field experiences, and thoughtful reflection—if teaching is right for you!

Our Program

CASEP begins in the first year of study at Northeastern. It combines general education courses and early field experiences with discussion and feedback about teaching. Students take general education courses that count toward any degree at Northeastern. So even if you decide not to become a teacher, CASEP’s coursework will allow you to pursue other academic paths.

Students selected to join CASEP:

• Benefit from specially-designated general education courses in their first and second years at Northeastern
• Become part of a cohort, or group, of like-minded students interested in the possibility of becoming teachers
• Take courses that are content linked and/or co-taught by faculty
• Conduct K-12 classroom observations in their second year of coursework
• Receive priority registration with a designated advisor
• May participate in service learning or part-time employment opportunities in educational settings

CASEP also fosters these abilities desirable in multiple disciplines:

• Critical and reflective thinking, writing and speaking
• Effective problem solving and decision making
• Enhanced presentational skills and technology use
• An understanding and appreciation of cultural difference

"CASEP will help you determine if teaching is the best career for you."
