The College of Education is a professional college whose major goal is to prepare individuals for future careers related to education. A wide range of programs is offered for teaching in elementary, middle, and high schools and for other educational positions. The college provides graduate study in a variety of professional education fields.

All undergraduate programs include a broad base of general education, intensive preparation in the subject matter field, and professional emphasis that combines theory with practice. Each program is thus designed to prepare students to enter their future career with a strong background in liberal arts, educational strategies and techniques, and a thorough understanding of teaching and learning processes.

The College of Education is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and is approved for teacher preparation by the State Department of Education of Ohio.

The College of Education shares the mission of Ohio University. Its special mission is to provide supportive and challenging experiences that foster the development of educational and human services professionals and the communities they serve. The college is a center for the development of knowledge and effective practices in education, human development, and organizational leadership. It promotes the efforts of participants to design and experiment with new practices, evaluate their impact, and share the results. Thus, programs evolve and are frequently improved to comply with changing standards established by the State of Ohio and accrediting agencies.

The information provided here does not include changes made after the printing deadline. Students must follow the program requirements that are in effect at the time of their acceptance into a teacher certification program and be prepared to incorporate additional changes that may be required by program revisions. Contact the Office of Student Services for current information about a particular program.

Bachelor of Science in Education

The Bachelor of Science in Education represents the completion of a program designed to allow you to attain competence in three areas:

1. The principal academic fields
   
2. The knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values underlying teaching
   
3. General/liberal education

Besides university General Education Requirements, you must complete the certification requirements established for the program you are following.

If you plan to teach in the elementary grades, enroll in the College of Education. The curricula offered by the college meet the requirements of the State Department of Education and qualify you for a provisional certificate to teach in the elementary grades and kindergarten, depending upon your preparation.

If you plan to teach middle school, high school, or special subjects (e.g., music, art, physical education), enroll in the College of Education or other colleges within the university. These programs meet the requirements of the State Department of Education and qualify you for a provisional certificate to teach the subjects indicated on the certificate.

If you plan to teach in special education classrooms, enroll in the College of Education. The curricula offered by the college meet the requirements of the State Department of Education and qualify you for a provisional certificate to teach in classrooms for the severe behavioral handicapped, specific learning disabled, multihandicapped, and developmentally handicapped.

Selective Admission and Retention

The college has a selective admission and retention process that applies to all students who intend to complete the teacher preparation program through Ohio University. Decisions regarding the retention of teacher education students in certification programs will be made through a continual quarterly evaluation of progress in coursework, clinical experiences, and field-based experiences. Evaluation criteria will be directly related to the specific knowledge, skill, attitude, and value objectives associated with each experience. There are three selection phases in this process, two of which are described below. The third phase is detailed under " Student Teaching."

You may appeal a decision regarding admission or retention by filing an appeal with the Credential Review Committee. Appeal forms and related information may be obtained from Student Services, McCracken Hall 124.

You will experience the complete range of the teacher's activities in full-time student teaching assignments for one quarter. You must plan carefully during the first three years of college to provide for a completely free quarter to engage in full-time student teaching. Majors in secondary academic areas and special fields will normally be assigned to student teaching during one of the quarters of their senior year.

The assignment of each student to a school is the responsibility and prerogative of the director of Student Services. You will be assigned to one of our centers in Athens; Chillicothe; Ironton; Lancaster; St. Clairsville; Zanesville; Cleveland; or St. Louis, Missouri.

You must secure your own housing and provide your own transportation to your assignments. You will need a car unless you are assigned to a metropolitan center where public transportation is available. Student teaching assignments in the Athens area are made within a commuting radius. The university assumes no responsibility for your transportation.

Teaching Licenses

If you plan to teach in Ohio, you will apply for a teaching license one month before completing the required classes. Before you will be licensed to teach, passing scores for the Praxis II exam must be reported to Student Services in the College of Education. Applications may be obtained from Student Services, McCracken Hall 124, or your regional campus student services office. The license is issued by the State Department of Education and qualifies you to teach the subjects indicated on the license.

Completion of requirements for graduation and of the professional courses required for licensure does not ensure that you will be recommended for licensure. Instructors in various courses, especially in courses in education and student teaching, will evaluate your fitness for the teaching profession in ways other than observation of academic performance in the classroom. Limitations that might impair your usefulness as a teacher in the public schools will be made a part of your record. When you apply for a license, this record will be examined and your fitness for teaching given further consideration.

All students applying for a teaching license must undergo a background check by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI). The State Department of Education will not issue a new license until it receives a copy of the background check from the BCI. This requirement includes:

1. Those applying for their first license
2. Those who have a license but are applying for an additional license

If you are applying for an endorsement or validation, you will not need to undergo a background check.

If you are not planning to teach in Ohio, familiarize yourself with the requirements specified by the state in which you expect to teach. Once you are issued a two-year provisional license, you are required to complete the Entry Year Program and Performance Based Assessment in order to be eligible for a five-year professional license.

Out-of-State Licensure and Reciprocity

Many states have licensure guidelines that allow all NCATE-accredited colleges to recommend students for licensure. Our NCATE accreditation allows the College of Education to recommend qualified students for teacher licensure in many other states. If you need to obtain licensure outside Ohio, contact the Department of Education in the appropriate state to obtain an application and learn if additional tests or courses are required. Your out-of-state application should be sent to Student Services, McCracken Hall.

Currently, the state of Ohio participates in the Interstate Agreement on Qualification of Educational Personnel and has entered into an implementation contract with the following states:

Alabama              Nebraska
Alaska                New Hampshire
California              New Jersey
Connecticut            New York
Delaware              North Carolina
District of Columbia
Florida                Oklahoma
Hawaii                Pennsylvania
Idaho                 Rhode Island
Indiana               South Carolina
Kansas               South Dakota
Kentucky             Tennessee
Maine                Utah
Maryland             Vermont
Massachusetts         Virginia
Michigan             Washington
Montana              West Virginia
                    Wisconsin

Changes in Ohio state standards for teacher licensure may affect future reciprocal agreements.

Major Field of Specialization

To be recommended by Ohio University for licensure, you must have a level of preparation in your major area of specialization that corresponds with the outline on the preceding and following pages, even though these requirements in many instances exceed those shown in the state licensure regulations.

Partnerships

In conjunction with public schools in southeastern Ohio, the College of Education has developed several partnerships. Partnership programs provide increased field experience opportunities for preservice teachers to learn with, and from, experienced inservice teachers. Partnership schools support and encourage ongoing professional development for faculty and administrators. Current partnerships exist with The Plains,Federal Hocking, Lancaster, Chauncey, East Elementary, Deering Elementary, and Whitwell.

Placement

The Office of Career Services, located in Lindley Hall, offers assistance to undergraduate students seeking educational positions. Information about available teaching and administrative positions in the public schools, as well as openings in education, student personnel, counselor education, and physical education departments of colleges and universities of most states and many foreign countries, is disseminated through the office.

Department of Counseling and Higher Education

The Department of Counseling and Higher Education offers only graduate programs. However, some undergraduate courses are available in career counseling and human relations. For more information about graduate programs, contact Student Services, McCracken Hall 124, telephone 740-593-4420.

Department of Educational Studies

The Department of Educational Studies offers only graduate programs; however, some undergraduate courses are provided for licensure programs in the Department of Teacher Education. For more information about graduate programs, contact the Office of Student Services, McCracken Hall 124, telephone 740-593-4420.

Department of Teacher Education

The Department of Teacher Education comprises three major program areas: middle childhood education, secondary education (adolescent-young adult), and special education (intervention specialist). The school provides the opportunity for students admitted to professional education to pursue undergraduate courses leading to teacher licensure in the state of Ohio. Listed below are program descriptions and course requirements for each of the licensure patterns offered.

Changes in state standards will dictate requirement changes not available at printing. Check with the student services office for current information.

Early Childhood Education

Please refer to the College of Health and Human Services section for program requirements.

Middle Childhood Education Programs

These requirements are subject to change. Contact the Office of Student Services, McCracken Hall 124 for program updates.

To receive a B.S.Ed. in middle childhood education, you must complete one of the following programs and achieve a passing score on the Praxis II exam prior to licensure. Each program curriculum includes coursework well distributed over two academic concentrations. For example, academic concentration combinations can come from language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, or other combinations such as mathematics/science or language arts/social studies. Upon completing the program and achieving a passing score on the appropriate fields of the Praxis II exam, you are eligible for a two-year provisional teaching license for grades 4-9.

You must meet departmental prerequisites for all classes if you are seeking licensure. For example, you must take and pass PSY 101 with a minimum grade of C before taking any 200 level education course.

Science and Mathematics

You are required to complete at least one course in science and one course in mathematics. Appropriate science courses are astronomy, chemistry, physics, plant biology, biological science, physical science, geological sciences, and PSY 226, 312, and 314. Any course in the Department of Mathematics, except 101, 102, or 320L, is acceptable for the mathematics requirement. Also, all Tier I quantitative skills courses count toward the mathematics requirement. Computer science courses do not satisfy this requirement.

Comparative Arts and/or PhilosophyYou are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in one field. Possibilities include any courses in the Department of Philosophy (except PHIL 120) or School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309; theater history courses; Art History; Art except for ART 360, 461, 461L, 462; School of Music courses except for music education courses, music therapy courses, and the one- or two-hour participation courses.

Social SciencesYou are required to complete at least two courses in social sciences. The two courses need not be in the same field. PSY 101, which is required, is included as one of the social sciences courses. Other possibilities include any course in anthropology, economics, economic education, history, political science, sociology, social work, geography, and psychology, except PSY 120, 226, 275, 312, and 314.

English and/or Foreign LanguageYou are required to complete at least two courses in English and/or foreign language. The two courses need not be in the same field. Freshman and junior English composition courses taken to satisfy the university English composition requirement (see General Education Requirements section) may be used toward completion of these hours. Either INCO 103 (or INCO 101 for integrated language arts majors only) is a specific requirement in this area and is counted as one of the two courses needed. Possibilities in this area include all English courses except ENG 451 and 452; any linguistics courses; any foreign language courses except ML 410 and 445; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309. (These humanities courses may NOT count toward the General Education Requirements in both the English and/or foreign language field and the comparative arts and/or philosophy field.)

If two courses in each field do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must elect sufficient hours in one or a combination of the above areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.

If your major is the same as one of the above areas, 10 hours of the major may be counted toward the corresponding general education field as well as the major. For example, if your major is integrated language arts, 10 hours of English may count toward the 45-hour total of general education courses and toward Field 4, above, which is English and/or Foreign Language.

No more than six hours of PED activity courses may be counted toward the degree except for majors in physical education, and none may count toward general education.

Honors Tutorial Program in Adolescent-Young Adult Education

If you are admitted to the Honors Tutorial College in an academic major, you may become licensed in adolescent-young adult education by combining two sets of tutorial experiences: one in the academic area and one in adolescent-young adult education. By completing both tutorial programs in addition to other licensure requirements, you will receive adolescent-young adult teaching licensure and a bachelor's degree from the Honors Tutorial College. For further information, contact Dr. Edward Stevens, Coordinator, Honors Tutorial Program in Secondary Education.

Art Education
Major code BS6201

Regardless of the college of the university from which you graduate, to achieve licensure through Ohio University to teach art, you must complete the following program and earn passing scores on the Praxis II exam. This program leads to a two-year provisional special field license in art allowing you to teach art in grades Pre-K-12 inclusive.

To become an art education major, you must complete ART 260 with a grade of 2.75 or better and submit a portfolio of studio work for review with a writing sample during your sophomore year. Portfolio reviews are held the first week of May. The faculty of the art education area will review portfolios and will accept as majors those students whose portfolios are deemed satisfactory.

If you are interested in majoring in art education, you are encouraged to meet with advisors in both the College of Education and the School of Art. The art education major is currently under revision. Make regular contact with your advisor and the art department for current information.
