CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE.

Education courses and classroom experiences work hand-in-hand to give students a strong grounding; research has shown that our LAMP students finish these programs with the skills and knowledge of 3rd year teachers. In 2014, the LAMP program received the award for Outstanding Field Experience from The Ohio Association of Teacher Educators.
