The School of Education provides 8-12 teacher certification in Biology, Chemistry, English, Math and Social Studies and P-12 certification in Art, Health/Physical Education, Music, Learning Behavior Disorders and Spanish. The Education Professional Standards Board requires ongoing assessment of educator preparation candidates. Therefore, it is important that secondary education majors remain in close contact with their education advisors. The first candidate assessment point, called CAP 1, is intent to major in the educator preparation program. CAP 2 is admission to the program and approval is required to take ED 414 . All CAP requirements are described earlier in this section.
See the respective sections in this catalog for courses required in these majors and endorsements. Due to the developmental nature of educator preparation program and due to extensive clinical experience requirements, candidates are urged to start taking these courses no later than the first semester of their sophomore year.
The curriculum area (English, Math, etc.) or the P-12 area should be selected as the major and 8-12 (secondary education) selected as the minor.
