The Elementary Education program is designed to provide learning experiences which will assist students in developing into highly competent and effective teachers in grades K-6. Students are able to expand their knowledge through coursework and field experiences which embody content, knowledge of liberal studies, pedagogy, curriculum, human development and learning, and a historical and philosophical basis to undergird one’s professional behavior. A minimum GPA, in accordance with Pennsylvania standards, is required to apply for teacher certification, to take major courses in the department, to apply for junior standing, and to student teach.
The Early Childhood Education Program is designed to provide learning experiences which assist students to become competent and effective teachers in N-Grade 3. It prepares the students to select from among a variety of techniques and strategies those which appropriately expand children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
