The School of Education provides guidance and professional courses for students who plan to teach in early childhood, middle level, and secondary schools. The teacher education program is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Students who plan to teach physical education, early childhood, or middle level must enroll in the School of Education. Those who elect to prepare for teaching in other fields must enroll in schools appropriate to their interests in teaching.

For the freshman or sophomore student who has not selected a major or specific teaching level or area, the School recommends enrollment in the undeclared program (see "Undecided Study" on page22). In addition to taking the required general education courses, students in this program are encouraged to take such electives as will provide them a good liberal education and help select a major field. Advisors in this program are selected to provide guidance to undecided students.

In making a decision to enter the teaching profession, students should seriously consider the demands which this choice entails. Among these are scholarship and intellectual curiosity; an interest in children and young people, and an understanding of their interests, problems, and development; a thorough understanding of the principles and skills employed by effective teachers; and an interest in and understanding of the role of the school in our society.

Students who elect the professional program in teacher education will complete their study in at least two stages. See the appropriate catalog section for the requirements for specific programs. Some courses in the area of specialization should also be completed. Admission to Arkansas Tech University is a prerequisite to, but separate from, admission to teacher education. Declaration of a major in one of the University's teacher education programs is also a prerequisite to making formal application for admission to teacher education. Even though admission to Tech and declaration of a teaching major are necessary conditions for admission to teacher education, they are not the only requirements. Other criteria are listed in the section below.

Admission & Retention in Teacher Education at Tech

Professional programs are composed of courses and activities designed to complete the undergraduate phase of professional preparation for teaching. Admission is by application to the Admission and Retention Committee of the Teacher Education Council. Before a student may enroll in professional education courses at the upper division level (the required 3000 and 4000 level professional education courses), he or she must be formally admitted to teacher education at Tech. Application forms may be obtained from the office of the Dean of the School of Education (Crabaugh 204) or the office of the Director of Teacher Education Student Services (Crabaugh 109).

To be admitted to programs in secondary education, teacher candidates must have two assigned advisors, one from the School of Education and one from the department representing their teaching concentration, have the approval of both advisors, satisfactorily complete the pre-admission requirements, have a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 on all college work completed including transfer work, and submit a plan of study approved by both advisors. An early childhood education or middle level education major will have one advisor from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Admission to teacher education will be recommended by the academic advisors and determined by the Admission and Retention Committee based on the following considerations: completion of English composition courses, an oral communication course, a collegelevel mathematics course, and the appropriate introductory education course with grades of "C" or higher, and completion of the PraxisI (PPST) with a score equal to or greater than the score determined by the Arkansas Department of Education. Other factors which reflect professional competence, including moral and emotional stability, physical and mental health, intellectual curiosity, use of English, social awareness, and professional interest will be considered by the Admission and Retention Committee. Formal screening and subsequent admission into teacher education and the monitoring of satisfactory progress in the teacher preparation program represent institutional obligations to the teaching profession, the schools served by and working with the University's programs, and the agencies that approve and accredit teacher education programs.

Once admitted to teacher education, the student must maintain satisfactory progress throughout the completion of the teacher education program according to the standards cited above and any additional program standards in effect or lose eligibility to continue in that program. Course sequences and prerequisites will be followed carefully.

Admission Decision Appeals

A formal appeal of a decision to deny admission to teacher education may be made to the Admission and Retention Committee of the Teacher Education Council. Instructions and forms for such appeals are available in the Office of the Dean of Education. An appeal should be based upon exceptional or extenuating circumstances and/or other pertinent information not previously available or considered. A formal appeal must be submitted in writing to the Dean who will transmit it to the Committee. The Committee's decision may be appealed in writing to the Dean of the School of Education regarding admission to teacher education. If the appeal is not resolved at this level the student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs whose decision will be final.

Criteria for Student Teaching

Student teaching is normally expected to be the last requirement completed in teacher education programs. Student teaching requires a full-time academic and professional commitment. Student teaching requires the student to devote one semester of the senior year to full-time internship in an approved school. The student should plan the work of student teaching to provide one semester free of activities and responsibility which would interfere with the requirements of the professional semester. The student teacher is expected to follow the direction of the Field-Based Teacher, the School Principal, the Arkansas Tech University Supervisors, and the Arkansas Tech University Director of Teacher Education Student Services.

Admission requirements for secondary education include completion of all professional education courses, a minimum grade of "C" in all courses required for the teaching field and professional education, and a 2.50 grade point average in the courses required for the teaching field with a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 on all work attempted, including transfer work. Admission requirements for early childhood education and middle level education include no grade below "C" in any course work with a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 on all work attempted, including transfer work. Student teaching admission requires a Praxis II Specialty Area score which meets or exceeds the minimum scores established by the Arkansas Department of Education.

Appeals of Student Teaching Eligibility Decisions

Decisions made regarding a student's eligibility and readiness for placement or retention in student teaching may be appealed in writing to the Admission and Retention Committee of the Teacher Education Council. Such an appeal should be submitted to the Dean of the School of Education, who will transmit it to the Committee. The Committee's decision regarding an appeal may be appealed in writing to the Dean. If the appeal is not resolved at that level, the student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs whose decision is final. Appeals should be based on exceptional or extenuating circumstances and/or pertinent information not previously available or considered.

Student Teaching Application Process

STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT A FORMAL APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO STUDENT TEACHING. APPLICANTS FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER MUST SUBMIT THE APPLICATION PRIOR TO OCTOBER 1 OF THE FALL SEMESTER. APPLICANTS FOR THE FALL SEMESTER MUST SUBMIT THE APPLICATION PRIOR TO MARCH 1 OF THE SPRING SEMESTER. FAILURE TO MEET THESE DEADLINES COULD RESULT IN THE DELAY OF STUDENT TEACHING FOR A SEMESTER. PRIORITY IN STUDENT TEACHING PLACEMENT WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE STUDENTS MEETING THE DEADLINES AND PREREGISTERING FOR STUDENT TEACHING FOR THE GIVEN SEMESTER.

Application forms for student teaching may be obtained during scheduled group meetings with the Director of Teacher Education Student Services.

Early Childhood candidates may accomplish student teaching by enrolling in ECED 4915. Middle level candidates may accomplish student teaching by enrolling in MLED 4912. Secondary candidates may accomplish student teaching by enrolling in SEED 4809 or 4909 and SEED 4503, and any other courses required in their teaching concentration. Assignment of the student to an approved station for student teaching is the responsibility of the School of Education based on policies developed by the School of Education. Placements are chosen to provide the best educational experience for the student teacher.

APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION TO STAGE II OR STUDENT TEACHING MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION AND RETENTION AS PUBLISHED IN THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES HANDBOOK OF THE ARKANSAS TECH UNIVERSITY TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM WILL SUPERSEDE CATALOG INFORMATION.

Praxis Series

Please refer to Item F, Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees, in the Graduation Requirements section of this catalog.

The Congress of the United States, in its reauthorization of Title of the Higher Educations Act of 1998, enacted accountability measures requiring institutions of higher education to report data to the public on the pass-rates of teacher candidates on assessments required for state licensure. The pass-rates for 1999-2000 for Arkansas Tech University students were 100 percent on the assessments of basic skills, professional knowledge, and academic content knowledge. The average pass-rates for programs in the state were 100 percent, 95 percent, and 95 percent, respectively.

During the year of record, 1999-2000, 374 students were admitted to the teacher education program at Arkansas Tech University; student teachers spent an average of 405 hours in the classroom during student teaching; and the average faculty-student ratio in supervised practice teaching was 5.57. All programs are approved by the Arkansas Department of Education. The teacher education program at Tech is not designated by the State of Arkansas as a low-performing program.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers programs leading to a degree and/or licensure in three areas: Early Childhood Education (Pre-K- Grade Four), Middle Level Education (Grade Four-Grade Eight), and Secondary Education (Grade Seven-Grade Twelve).

Early Childhood Education1

The Early Childhood Education program meets the needs of today's children building on the common core of knowledge, performance, and dispositions needed for early childhood professional educators.

There are three phases in the Bachelor of Science Early Childhood Degree program. Students begin the first phase by taking general education requirements and are introduced to basic concepts, theory and practices in early childhood courses.

During the second phase students complete general education requirements and take courses specifically designed to prepare them for the profession. Admission requires minimum scores as determined by the Arkansas State Board of Education on the Praxis I; a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.50 on all college work attempted with no grade below "C" (including work from other colleges and universities); and beginning the development of a portfolio which must include a philosophy and documented evidence of observations of young children.

During the third phase of the early childhood program, students are placed in an appropriate environment for their Student Internship. Admission to this stage requires a minimum grade point average of 2.50 with no grade below "C" in all courses and a satisfactory score on the licensure exam as established by the Arkansas Department of Education. Students should make application for admission to the internship for the spring semester by October 1, or the fall semester by March 1.

1Information regarding the Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education is listed under the School for Community Education and Professional Development.

Middle Level Education

The Middle Childhood/Early Adolescence degree exists to provide quality preservice educational programs and services in preparation for teaching grades 4-8. The program prepares and nurtures interdisciplinary teachers who reflect content knowledge as well as facilitate creative talents.

The program is designed around a conceptual framework which organizes learning expectations and experience into manageable discipline-specific strands including: professional and pedagogical knowledge, knowledge of the student, developmentally appropriate and effective practices, knowledge of integrated disciplines, global and multi-cultural perspectives, technology, and a liberal arts and science background. The student entering the middle-level program must complete an integrated math/science or English/social studies curriculum.

The first phase of the middle level program is a pre-professional program and admission to this stage does not constitute approval for admission to the professional program in teacher education. Stage II is the professional phase of the preparation program. Students must satisfactorily complete the requirements of the first stage, have a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 on all coursework, completion of English composition courses, an oral communication course, a college-level mathematics course, and completion of MLED 2001 and 2011 with grades of "C" or higher. Competence in oral and written grammar will be assessed. Students must submit scores on Praxis I (PPST) that meet or exceed the levels established by the Arkansas Department of Education.

After satisfying all of the requirements at this level, the teacher candidate will apply for student teaching. Admission to student teaching requires completion of all professional education courses, senior standing, satisfactory completion of all prerequisites listed in the course descriptions, a minimum grade of "C" in all courses with a cumulative grade point average of 2.50, and the minimum score on the licensure examination as required by the Arkansas Department of Education.

Students should make application for admission to the internship for the spring semester by October 1 or for the fall semester by March 1. Students must present scores on the appropriate licensure examination as directed by the Arkansas Department of Education.

Secondary Education

The secondary education curriculum is designed to prepare students for teaching careers at the junior high school and senior high school levels. Students completing the NCATE approved program in secondary education will qualify for licensure in an area appropriate to their major field. The program recognizes three important components in the education of a prospective teacher: a strong general education, an indepth knowledge in a selected teaching field, and a knowledge of the school, adolescents, and the teachinglearning process.

The Unit's conceptual framework is: Professionals for the Future. The framework emphasizes the concepts of teacher as instructional leader, reflective decision-maker, and problem solver who has knowledge of the student, a strong content and pedagogical knowledge, a commitment to their profession, and a desire to continue their development.

Students preparing to teach in secondary schools must complete the courses required for specialization in the appropriate curriculum, see "Curriculum in Secondary Education" on page119.

Students desiring entrance to the teacher education program in secondary education should apply for admission to Stage II during the second semester of their sophomore year. Students who are admitted to Stage II of the teacher education program for secondary teachers enroll jointly in course work for their degree specialization and course work in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. For example, students planning to teach mathematics enroll in the math department and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The requirements of both departments must be satisfied.

Students should make application for admission to student teaching for the spring semester by October 1 and for the fall semester by March 1. Students must present scores on the Praxis II specialty area test equal to or greater than the stateestablished level in order to be approved for student teaching. Any questions concerning student teaching placement should be addressed to the Director of Teacher Education Student Services located in Crabaugh 109.

Professional requirements for the secondary education program include SEED 2002; SEED 3554, SEED 3702, SEED 4503, SEED(VOBE) 4556, and SEED 4809 or 4909. SEED 2002, SEED 3554, SEED 3702 and SEED 4556 must be completed prior to student teaching. Secondary teacher education candidates enrolling in student teaching should register for SEED 4503 and either SEED 4809 or SEED 4909. In addition to the course requirements specified, the state also requires that the applicants for an Arkansas teaching license supply a copy of his/her score on the Praxis II (Principles of Learning and Teaching and Specialty Area Test) and the criminal background check as required by Act 1310. The Specialty Area Test is required for entry into student teaching. The Principles of Learning and Teaching may be completed during student teaching.

Student Teaching:

Student teaching is the capstone of the teacher preparation program. Placements are the responsibility of the School of Education and are selected on the basis of providing the best experience available for the student. The assignments require full day experiences for the semester. Students should make plans with these requirements in mind.

Praxis II

All candidates for licensure must meet minimum scores as required by Arkansas Department of Education on the Principles of Learning and Teaching and the appropriate specialty area test.
