Learning Community for ISET majors
UNC’s FYE Learning Communities are groups of students who take two, three or four classes together the first semester of their freshman year. UNC's FYE Learning Communities are carefully designed to help students with similar majors or interest areas meet one another, take classes together, and learn how to be successful in their major/interest area. The center of the Learning Community is UNC’s FYE 108 course, which helps students integrate successfully into the academic and social community at UNC.
The learning community for freshmen ISET majors who want to become elementary teachers has a special emphasis on standards-based education and licensure requirements. Students make connections with other students, enroll in classes required for the ISET major, make connections with professors, and understand the University and the resources available here. Participants are guaranteed enrollment in 10 credit hours of required coursework. There are typically 8 different learning community links for ISET majors. Students indicate their preference for the learning community when they register for a summer Orientation session. For more information about UNC’S learning communities see the Learning Communities Web site.
