Block Curriculum

The ECE/ELEM teacher education curriculum at Samford University consists of five integrated semesters called “blocks.” Each block includes significant applications of problem-based learning strategies, technology, and clinical experiences. Woven throughout the program are emphases on assessment strategies and planning for P-12 students from diverse backgrounds and with special learning needs. The culminating experience occurs in semester five, with full-time student teaching.
