Parents are the first and most important teachers in a child’s life. Teachers and educators, however, are often the second most important influence. Besides sharing a love for children, we know that the most talented teachers share a passion and joy for learning, which they impart to the students and maintain throughout their lives.

This is why the Education/Early Childhood/Family Studies programs and courses at Clackamas Community College are designed to fit the professional development needs of a variety of education and family studies students. Our courses are design for those just beginning to explore education & early childhood education as a career option, early childhood educators/preschool teachers who are already working in the field, in-service teachers and paraprofessionals, who plan to hone their skills, so that they can work side-by-side with in-charge professionals throughout public schools settings.

Some of the best and most memorable teachers go above and beyond to be mentors or coaches to their students... are you ready to make a difference in today’s children the way your teachers did with you?
