Requirements for Admission to Adolescent to Young Adult (AYA) or P-12 Specialty Programs All applicants must successfully complete the following coursework prior to admission into an AYA program. • Written and Oral Communication – at least 10 credits 3300:111 English Composition I 4 3300:112 English Composition II 3 7600:105 Introduction to Public Speaking 3 or 7600:106 Introduction to Effective Oral Communications 3 • Social Science – a minimum of 3 credits • Mathematics – minimum of 3 credits 3450:xxx coursework offered by the Mathematics Department that meets General Education Math requirements (3450:100 or 140 does not count) or 3470:xxx coursework offered by the Statistics department that meets the General Education level mathematics requirement • Natural Science – a minimum of 5 credits • Physical Education/Wellness 5540:xxx Physical Education/Wellness 1 • Teaching Field(s) – a minimum of 8 credits Credits Does not include coursework already used above. A 2.50 GPA 8 in all such coursework is required. This includes credits beyond the minimum of 8. • Professional courses (courses to be taken in an approved sequence): 5100:200 Introduction to Education 3 5100:220 Educational Psychology 3 5100:300 Equity and Excellence in Education 3 5300:100 Orientation to the AYA/P-12/Multi-Age Programs 0 5300:420 Instructional Techniques in Secondary Education 3 5300:421 Field Experience in Instructional Techniques in Secondary Education 2 5300:325 Content Reading in Secondary Schools (for AYA) 3 or 5500:455 Literacy for Multi-age Licensure 3 5300:495 Student Teaching 8 5300:496 Student Teaching Colloquium 1 5500:230 Educational Technology 3 5500:360 Educational Planning 3 5500:370 Educational Implementation 3 5500:475 Instructional Technology Applications 3 5610:225 Introduction to Exceptionalities 3 • Courses in teaching field(s) and electives as determined by the department. Teaching Fields Each teacher candidate preparing for secondary school teaching must complete at least one teaching field. P-12 indicates that licensure in that field is for preschool through grade 12. Other fields lead to licensure for grades 7-12 or as noted. The minimum number of credits is shown for each field. Minimum Number of Credits Required for Approval in Various Teaching Fields Comprehensive Subjects by Field Integrated Language Arts 45 Integrated Mathematics 45 Integrated Science (six options) + Biology (Life Science) and Earth Science 79-80 Biology (Life Science) and Chemistry 84-85 Biology (Life Science) and Physics 84-85 Earth Science and Chemistry 80 Earth Science and Physics 73 Chemistry and Physics 81 Integrated Social Studies 63 AYA:Life Sciences 60 AYA:Earth Sciences 54 AYA:Physical Sciences - Physics 55 AYA:Physical Sciences - Chemistry 61 P-12 Drama Theatre 44 P-12 Foreign Language 47 P-12 Music 54-56 P-12 Visual Arts 58 Family and Consumer Science (Grades 4-12) Foreign Language Spanish 47 French 45 |
