Education Teaching Majors ELEMENTARY EDUCATION — GRADES K-6 An elementary education major prepares candidates to teach kindergarten through grade 6. All elementary majors must have a concentration/minor along with their elementary major. The minor does not have to lead to licensing, but the department strongly suggests choosing a minor or concentration that will enhance their major, such as the special education minor (mild intervention). ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR (83 hours) • EDUC 2000, 2030, 2100, 2110, 2170, 2200, 2460, 2520, 2730, 3120, 3300, 4120, 4310, 4320, 4850, 4910 • SPED 2400, 3120, 3200 • MUED 2110 • EDUC 4010 Student Teaching (10 credit hours; may be repeated up to a maximum of 20 hours) • EDUC 4930 Leadership Seminar in Character Education • 12 hours in supportive disciplines: HIST 2000, MATH 1110, PETE 3710, PHYS 1030 • Elementary education majors must also complete the following courses (14 hours) in partial fulfillment of the Liberal Arts Program (See Liberal Arts Program in this catalog): BIOL 1000, ENGL 1400, HIST 2110, MATH 1100 READING CONCENTRATION Embedded in the elementary education major is a reading concentration. All elementary education candidates will earn this concentration and Reading K-6 will be printed on their license in addition to Elementary Education K-6. This does not provide an additional licensing area, but does signify that a candidate has received extra coursework and field experiences in designing effective reading instruction. This may serve as the required concentration/minor for licensing.
