NOTE: Many students elect to complete certification requirements in both Early Childhood and Elementary and receive teaching certificates in both areas.
*There are field experiences in these
courses. Students should take only one
of these courses per semester. Allow a
two-hour block of time for scheduled field experience twice a week.
**ED 450 & 451 (Student Teaching and
Seminar) may be taken only in the SPRING semester of the senior year. Secondary
Foreign Language Education majors take ED 450 & 451 in the SPRING
semester. ED 450 requires students’
full-time participation and no other courses may be taken during this semester. Students must have reliable transportation.
NOTE: It is imperative that students
work closely with their advisors to meet all current certification
requirements. All students are required
to take six credits of English composition (or equivalent) and literature (or
the equivalent) and two college level mathematics courses (or the equivalent)
prior to being admitted to a certification program. See Section I of the Education Department Student
Handbook for explanation of all certification requirements.
