This program is designed to provide learning experiences to 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.
The Urban Track within the Department of Professional Studies and 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.
This program is designed to assist students in becoming highly competent and effective teachers of children in Preschool through Grade 6. The program has an 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 and Elementary Education with an academic concentration in the Teaching of Reading.
This unique cohort 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. As all field experiences take place in specific school districts and communities in a collaborative professional development school model, student teaching abroad and the urban elementary education track are not options for students in this major. Twenty hours of service learning are a requirement of this program and are incorporated into major courses.
Admission to this selective program requires satisfactory completion of an interview in addition to the college requirements for Step 1 in the 3-Step Process for Teacher Education. Students interested in this program should enroll in the university as Elementary Education majors. Interviews and candidate screening will be held in the fall and spring. Interview dates and relevant information are available at www.iup.edu/pse/programs. A 3.0 GPA 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.

(*) See requirements leading to teacher certification, titled “3-Step Process for Teacher Education,” in the College of Education and Educational Technology section of this catalog. (1) This sequence of 10cr fulfills the Liberal Studies Natural Science requirement. (2) For students who test out of MATH 152, consult your advisor for suggested math courses. (3) For Option A, student teaching must take place in a designated urban school. For Option B, student teaching must take place in an urban Professional Development School partner site. (4) Students enrolled in this track may also participate in a Reading or Math concentration according to departmental guidelines. Courses related to those concentrations would require the student to invest additional credits, resulting in a program of more than 120cr. Courses for reading concentration and math concentration are delivered only at IUP main campus, not at the professional development school partner site. |
