A strong academic background in the liberal arts and sciences is an essential part of the program for preparing early childhood and elementary teachers for the scope of multiple subjects they must teach in the classroom. Students follow a program transition sequence in their course of study from one level to the next that provides a foundation in which they are liberally educated and professionally prepared. Students' demonstrated skills applied to the Essential Dimensions of Teaching and the Maryland Teacher Technology Standards are developmental in nature and supported by their instructors in the various courses and experiences throughout the program. Students receive feedback and support for their performance on selected assignments reflecting these standards using rubric-based assessments. Data-based Assessment Documentation for the overall program and a profile for each student enrolled in professional education courses provides information the program faculty uses to improve program delivery as a whole and support each students individual and unique needs. The program is offered in both the traditional formats for teachers in the early childhood and elementary education . Traditional students sometime take courses in the accelerated program utilizing the experiences of the instructor for students who are studying the same material.
