Keri DeSutter included in story on career changers going into education
School of Teaching and Learning Professor Keri DeSutter was recently featured in an Inforum story titled, “Despite a ‘mass exodus,’ these people are giving education a try as a 2nd career.”
An excerpt from the story:
Minnesota State University Moorhead launched an online Elementary Inclusive Education program this fall aimed at prospective teachers.
Keri DeSutter, professor in the School of Teaching and Learning, said enrollees include paraeducators, other support professionals in schools and people currently in a different career.
The focus is flexibility, from a light to full-time course load.
Fulfilling the course work and required field experience leads to a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a teaching license that works in both Minnesota and North Dakota, DeSutter said.
The story also promoted the Oct. 2 elementary inclusive education virtual open house, which a handful of prospective students attended.
