In AMS affiliated courses, a team teaching approach is used
in teacher education. The faculty have a wide range of skills
and keep up-to-date on the most recent research in the fields
of education, and human growth and development. Experienced
mentor teachers, instructors, and field consultants guide
the candidate through the academic and practicum phases of
the course. HMC pays all travel expenses for supervision of
practicum within 100 miles of HMC. Student teachers or their
schools pay for travel expenses over 100 miles.
Each course requires the following components to be completed
for certification by AMS:
