Post-Bae Certific te in Secondary

Education, Physical Science

I am an Elko native and 1995 graduate of Elko

High School After 20 years in the Army, I

was loolcing for a transition from military life

to the civilian workforce I earned my

BSAST in Aviation Jo iaintenance Technology

from Thomas Edison State University, but

wanted to teach in my hometm~n The Post

-Bac Certificate program at GBC allowed me

to complete the physical science courses I

needed "'-bile taking the education courses and

student teaching

challenging classes that relate directly to the

profession and staffed by people who have

spent years in the profession They helped me

make connections with the local school

district and allowed me to work with highly

qualified and experienced teachers during

student teaching They gave me the

constructii·e criticism needed to improve

Upon completing the program, GBC helped

me with recommendations and the hiring

process I am now teaching at my a.Ima mater

and giving back to the community

BA Elementa1y Educ.ation

Deciding to further your education is a life changing decision It

is a special journey for each and every person who makes this

decision I began pursuing my elemental)• education degree at

G.-eat Basin College in 2006 right after I graduated from high school Due to several circumstances beyond m control, I had

to take a break from college I was only four classes and student teaching shy of completing my degree It was so hard stopping when I was so close to graduating, but in the end, it worked out

to be the best decision

\Vhen I finally returned in spring of 2015 I was greeted with a new education instructor Teresa Stauffer was like a breath of fresh air She brou ht so much passion and excitement to the program I was beyond excited to return and lmish my classes

after meeting with her During student teaching, I had the

opportunity to work with Tom Reagan and Teresa Stauffer They were a wonderful team and each shared an invaluable amowit of

knowledge with us They provided immense support, immediate feedback offered meaningful suggestions, and guided us to become distinguished student teachers I am eternally grateful I had the opportWlity to learn and teach under their guidance

1\ow that I have graduated and recei\·ed my license, I plan to

accept a position as soon as my youngest child starts Kindergarten I am very fortunate to ha\'e been already offered se\·eral positions at Flag View Intermediate and Northside

Elementary I would love to work with students in the 5th grade and younger After se\·eral years in the classroom I would like to

get my Gifted and Talented endorsement and eventually teach in the GT program

A.t~E LINDER

BA Secondary Education, Biology

I have two passions, learning and science

G.-eat Basin College's Education Program was the perfect fit for me because it combined my two passions into a single career, teaching The Education Program at GBC is an excellent

teacher prep program I completed the program feeling competent in my content area as well as the various aspects of education The

instructors and faculty that make up the Education Department is the number one reason the program has become so successful

The instructors spend cowitless hours ensuring their student's needs ha\·e been met, by providing students with excellent instruction and academic advising The faculty in the department are very helpful They always

supply students with essential information about the program and scholarship opportunities This program does a great job of

emphasizing peer interaction through discussion and reflection My peers were v ry supportive and helped me grow as a student and an educator during m time at GBC The

Education Program at GBC will always hold a special place in my heart It has made my dream career become a reality In addition the program has provided me with resources and friendships that will last a lifetime

Alignment with NSHE Institutions

addressing licensing issues, program development, etc

the university programs, including common course numbering

American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education:

Alignment with School Districts and Workforce Demands

gathers stakeholders from the rural districts, Nevada

Department of Education, Board of Regents, and industry

partnership with the rural districts to address the immediate

shortage in the teacher pipeline We continually modify it to

meet the needs of the districts

Barriers in the Teacher Pipeline

0 Many reasons exist for the national enrollment decline in teacher

preparation programs Nevada's commitment to the Teach Nevada

Scholarship program allows GBC to change the narrative that the

profession is valued, and increase recruitment

° Funding for NSHE programs is driven by student credit hours, so

resources are scarce to impact graduates after they enter the

profession GBC is strengthening partnerships with the Northeastern

Nevada Regional Professional Development Program to mentor first

year teachers and ARL candidates Continued funding for the RPDPs is

critical
