The Teacher Education Advisory Board has defined a service-oriented professional as a teacher who goes beyond the requirements of the job by seeking ways to improve the educational experience of each student.

Students completing McPherson College’s Teacher Education Program must contribute to the profession by documenting significant service activities.

• Significant: The department quantifies significant through hours of service. During the student’s college career s/he must complete and document 100 hours of service. These hours must be in the form of varying experiences that include at least four different activities.

• Documentation: Students are responsible for documentation. Faculty in the C&I Department or the faculty members of the Teacher Education Board will review this documentation.

• Activities: The following is a list of possible service-oriented activities. The intent of this list is not to limit the future educator but rather to guide students as they develop their own sense of service.
