Lake Tahoe Community College

The goal of the Associate in Arts in Elementary Teacher Education for Transfer Degree at Lake Tahoe Community College is to provide a clearly articulated curricular track for students who wish to transfer to a CSU campus, serve the diverse needs of students interested in the breadth and depth of the field of Elementary Teacher Education, expose students to the core principles and practices of a liberal studies curriculum in order to build a foundation for their future personal, academic, or professional paths, and give students a foundation that is appropriate for entry into advanced study in teacher preparation.

With an advanced degree, such as a baccalaureate, the Elementary Teacher Education AA-T program will prepare students for possible career opportunities as a credentialed teacher grades K-12. Careers related to this field include public or private instructional assistant or classroom aide (grades K-8), private tutor, publishing and textbook salesperson, and curriculum and test developer.

Students are strongly encouraged to see a counselor if considering this transfer option.
