In the parable of the talents, Jesus describes a “steward” as one who has responsibility for someone else’s assets. As a teacher, you will have responsibility for a very precious resource – your students. At Huntington, we’ll help you become an effective steward of priceless young minds and hearts.

As a mathematics education major, you will receive rigorous training in mathematics while gaining comprehensive experience in a series a courses, field experiences and, of course, student teaching during your senior year.

But student teaching will not be your first experience in the classroom. At Huntington, you will gain specifically designed skills for mathematics education majors that will give you hands-on, practical experiences every semester. You will complete a three-week, full-day practicum in a multicultural school in Fort Wayne as well as observation and participation hours in the actual classroom before you ever begin student teaching. At Huntington, you will gain wide exposure to different grade levels and styles of teaching and learning.
