Focus: Education Department Size and location are a plus to department

By Judy Buck The education department at Cabrini college is a division with approximately 200 students. Education is one of the original majors that Cabrini began with in 1957. Within the department, special education has about 100 students, clearly being the largest of all the education departments. There are also approximately 50 students obtaining their masters in education. Cabrini's education department serves Villanova, Rosemont and Eastern in special education and teacher certification. In the special education consortium a faculty curriculum sharing program is administered with Gwynned Mercy's faculty. Some unique features of the educa!,ion department are that students must apply for admission into the program in their sophomore year. Education majors must also take on additiona1 programs in their field.

Field experiences with the students • begin in their sophomore year and are continued throughout the rest of their years at Cabrini.

According to Dr. Ruth Sower, education chairperson, " These field experiences are good for the students, Cabrini tries to expose them to various schools and manv different surroundings which they may one day be working in." The education department is currently working on Middle States Certification. The department is also beginning to get organised for the Pennsylvania Department of Education Certification agency which permits Cabrini to teacher education. The agency makes a thorough investigation seeing that Cabrini is meeting state standards. The department is also seeking a way to expand the computer literacy program. Presently teachers are taking courses in computers, while students are also offered computer courses. Sower feels the department's size and location are of an advantage because all the students are able to obtain a chance to work in the various townships that surround the college. " In general," Sower stated, "students have enjoyed much more employability at Cabrini than what nation wide predictions state." Sower also said, "There is still a demand for special education teachers and there is presently a moderate to severe shortage of science and math teachers." 'Students have enjoyed much more employability at Cabrini than what nationwide predictions state.' - Dr. Ruth Sower, chairperson, education department. Elementary schools anticipate that in 1985 there will be a slight increase of students, and teachers will be somewhat in demand. Enrollment in teacher education programs have dropped off while at the same time there has been an increased amount of baby births , therefore more teachers will be in demand in the near future . There will also be good employment possibilities in the early childhood field due to these baby births. Sower feels meeting the needs of the next couple of decades and adjusting to meet the needs of society will keep education on its toes while keeping it more challenging.
