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 and to student teach.
Urban Track
The Urban Track within the Department of Professional Studies in Education
prepares students for teaching in urban school districts, especially in
low-income communities with high minority enrollments where the need for
high-quality teachers is great. Coursework and field experiences emphasize the
historical, economic, political, and sociocultural contexts of urban schools and
seek to develop within future teachers the skills, knowledge-base, and
sensitivities for working with students whose backgrounds and life experiences
often differ in significant ways from their own.
The Early Childhood Education/PreK-Grade 6
Program is designed to assist students in becoming highly competent and
effective teachers of children in Preschool-Grade 6. This program has a strong
emphasis on early childhood education and the teaching of reading. Students in
this program will meet the academic requirements for certification in both Early
Childhood Education/PreK-Grade 6 and Elementary Education with an academic
concentration in reading. This unique program, combining coursework, extensive
field experiences, and community involvement, prepares students to be
professional educators who are well qualified to utilize appropriate techniques
and strategies to expand children’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, and
physical development.
Admission to this program requires satisfactory completion of an interview in
addition to the university general requirements. Detailed information will be
sent to the applicant upon request. A minimum GPA, in accordance with
Pennsylvania standards, is required to apply for teacher certification, to take
major courses in the department, and to student teach. Students must meet the
requirements leading to teacher certification as outlined in this catalog.
Programs leading to the M.Ed. and D.Ed. degrees are described in the Graduate School Catalog . Internships and assistantships are available.
