Melody Tyler Named 2009 DaVinci/Martin Scholar
Melody Tyler, a senior in the elementary education program, has been named one of six DaVinci/Martin Scholars in the state of Oklahoma. The DaVinci/Martin Scholar award is
designed to honor pre-service teachers whose academic accomplishments and
service to the university are deemed notable. Winners were determined using
four criteria: GPA, Service Learning proposal, a letter of nomination
and creativity. Tyler’s
service learning
proposal, “Teaching Alphabet Skills to Emergent Readers,” would create a
collaboration between community volunteers, parents and caregivers. For this honor, Tyler will receive $3,000 from The DaVinci Institute. Above, Ms. Tyler receives a certificate from Dean Ronna Vanderslice along with Dr. Lynda Robinson, who recommended her for the award.
Welcome from the Chair of the Education Department
Welcome to the Department of Education at Cameron University. Cameron offers an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Care and Bachelor of Science degrees in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. Secondary education programs are offered in biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, and social studies. Elementary/secondary programs are offered in romance languages and physical education.
We also offer a Master’s of Education with options in elementary, secondary, special education, literacy, teaching and learning, school counseling, and library media. You can even pursue an advanced degree in reading or educational leadership.
The Department of Education believes that competent, caring, and committed educators are successful in their careers.
Educators who are competent use pedagogical and content knowledge to support learning for all, provide instruction based on standards and student needs, and use assessment and strategies for active engagement so that all can learn.
Educators who are caring are responsive to individual needs and create learning environments that promote positive social interactions and motivation.
Educators who are committed collaborate with others by using effective communication skills while being reflective decision makers and lifelong learners who are willing to change in order to continuously improve.
We believe that all of these qualities are fostered through standards-based coursework with coordinated field experiences.
Cameron's Department of Education is proud of our diverse faculty and expect all faculty members to hold high academic standards, exhibit a strong work ethic, and model the characteristics of caring, competent, and committed teachers.
