What is the School-based
Cohort Immersion Program or SCIP?
SCIP is a new design for teacher
education meant to be equally beneficial for K-6 classroom teachers,
children, education majors, and EIU professors and to enable the long-term
bonds of a true learning community.
What makes SCIP different
from traditional coursework and clinical experiences?
SCIP is a pilot program offered to
incoming freshman Education Scholars, Fall, 2002. Participants are/will
be introduced to Charleston K-6 buildings, placed with SCIP teachers, and
closely advised and mentored throughout their professional program.
SCIP professional education includes volunteer hours in host classrooms,
block courses to be taught at the Charleston schools, technology training
and participation, and classroom interactions with master teachers and
K-6 students all four years.

master teachers and children
