Teaching As A Profession

We're thrilled to share that one of our courses, "Teaching as a Profession," led by the dedicated and dynamic Laurie Hansen, recently treated students to a unique, fun, and hands-on learning experience.

With the help of robots from UVU’s Creative Learning Studio, the future educators in Ms. Hansen's class got a glimpse into the possibilities of technology in education. They had the opportunity to design algorithms and choreograph robot dances, blending creativity with technical skills in an immersive learning environment.

Whitney Carter, a teacher here at the ALC received a prestigious award. 

Whitney was awarded the Educator's Rising Teacher Leader of the Year for 2020-2021

Whitney teaches our Teaching as a Profession Classes, and her peers and the students she teaches all think the world of Whitney. She is truly amazing at everything she does. This award was well deserved.

Here is the write up that was announced at state conference: 

What can you do with a bag of gummy bears, some duct tape, and some skewers?

Well, ALC students in the education class and engineering CAPS class are working together to create a human masterpiece. The students are working with the Gail Halvorsen foundation to create STEM-related learning stations for elementary-aged students. This creation can be used in several ways to teach about motion, wavelengths, and DNA strands. 

The students had a great time building it and showing it off! Great work ALC students. 

Watch for additional NeboCAPS projects with the Gail Halvorsen Foundation in a coordinated effort to get their STEM bus rolling out to students across Utah County!
