Elementary Education - Elizabethtown College

Elementary Education from Elizabethtown College is a Campus Bachelor Elementary Education degree that prepares you for a Education career. Candidates for certification in Elementary Education ? and related concentrations and certification sequences in Early Childhood Education, Special Needs Education , Special Education, Behavior Management and Urban Education ? must complete a major that consists of two key elements. The first of these emphasizes critical concepts and ideas important to one's general education and academic preparation for teaching . The second stresses both the content and process of helping others learn such important subject matter. Three tracks are available to demonstrate mastery of these two components: Track One requires successful completion of any other College-approved major program and the series of courses required for Elementary Education . This path leads to a dual major in Elementary Education and in the other major. Because it produces a major in another field along with certification in Elementary Education , this program possibly will require more than the standard eight semesters of baccalaureate work. Track Two requires successful completion of a specially designed liberal arts major emphasizing content critical to the general education of a person with interest in helping children learn, the series of courses in educational content and pedagogy detailed on the following pages, and any College-approved minor. With careful advising, planning and course selection, this major routinely should be completed during a traditional four-year time period. Track Three requires successful completion of the same specially designed content major and the same course work in pedagogy as is mentioned above. Additionally, it requires completion of an education-related concentration. Concentrations include: Behavior Management, Early Childhood Education , Special Needs Education and Urban Education . This program also should be completed as part of a four-year, full-time College experience. View more details on Elizabethtown College .
