Licensure
LICENSURE
The terminology has changed: the teaching "certification" is now called
"licensure". Our licensure program for Spanish is not yet accredited
and needs to go through that procedure. Currently Pedagogy Spanish
majors cannot be licensed in the state by the College and need to go
through the Department of Education on their own. This will hopefully
be remedied very soon.
PROCEDURE FOR LICENSURE
- Students must have a total of sixty credits, an overall GPA of 2.75
and a GPA of 3.0 in both the major and the EDU classes, and have passed
the Communication and Literacy (C&L) portions of the teacher test
(MECT). [Thus it may not be possible to do before the junior year.]
- Students should take the four EDU courses BEFORE the Methodology
course (which is only offered in the fall). It is also a school-wide
rule that students cannot take the Methodology class before taking AND
PASSING the first two parts of the teacher test (the Communication and
Leteracy (C&L) portions. The third part of the teacher test, the
content area (Spanish), should be taken the fall during the Methodology
class, if not earlier.
ED COURSE CHANGES
Finally, note that the names and the content of the four EDU courses
have officially changed (see below). If you have not started to take
the sequence of EDU courses, you should take the new course numbers. If
you have already taken one or more of the old sequence, you should
continue with the old ones. The new courses are:
Pre-Practicum
EDU 252A Contemporary High School
EDU 254A Teaching the Adolescent
EDU 256A The Secondary School - Urban and Legal Issues
EDU 260A Reading and Writing in Secondary Education
SPN 388A Methodology of Teaching Spanish (P-6) [for ELEMENTARY EDUCATION CONCENTRATION (P-6)
SPN 389 Methodology of Teaching Spanish (5-12) [for SECONDARY EDUCATION CONCENTRATION (5-12)]
