Education courses are useful for everyone, not just for those students studying to be teachers. Every professional, parent, and student can benefit from learning about learning, and considering ways to contribute educationally to their communities. Individuals in Business, Communications, Management, Psychology, Political Science (our future lawyers) and people in health careers will be in positions where having some real pedagogical (teaching) skills are important.
