Requirements: The requirements for the B.A. in Educational Studies are similar to the B.A. in Elementary Education. However, students choosing this path will not be eligible for teacher certification/licensure. Acceptance into the Teacher Education Program is a requirement, but students need not show passing scores on the Praxis II exams. An individualized plan of study will be created, based on interest and career goals, and approved by the Chair of the School of Education.
Assessment Plan The Fredrikson School of Education will conduct student and program assessment through the following evaluation instruments: Praxis I PPST Exam, evaluations from the paraprofessional experience, dispositional assessment results and self-evaluations. In addition, students will be formally evaluated in a practicum experience specifically aligned with their chosen option.
Right of Appeal on Academic Issues Students with a grievance regarding an instructor, course, or other academic issues should discuss the grievance with the instructor involved. If this does not lead to a satisfactory resolution of the issue, the student should discuss the matter with the Chair of the School of Education. If that also fails to resolve the issue, an appeal may be made to the Teacher Education Committee. Such an appeal should be submitted in written form to the Chair of the Teacher Education Committee.
