Department of Curriculum and Instruction
|
Rhea A. Ashmore, Chair
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers the Bachelor
of Arts in Education degree and certification/licensure in elementary
education and in business education. As well, it offers certification/licensure
in a wide range of secondary programs for students who are earning
or already have completed the baccalaureate degree in their
chosen field(s) of interest. At the graduate level, the department
offers the master's and doctoral degrees in curriculum and instruction.
Programmatic themes across all levels include integration of
instruction, collaborative learning, and respect for the individual.
Graduate Programs
The department offers the Master of Education (M.Ed.) in curriculum
and instruction. Students select from one of the following options:
curriculum studies, elementary education, instructional design
for technology, library-media services, literacy education,
secondary education, and special education. Students may earn
the master's degree in combination with requirements for certification/licensure
at the middle and secondary level. This option is explained
further below. The department also offers the Doctor of Education
(Ed.D.) in curriculum and instruction. Information about these
programs is available from the department office and in the
UM Graduate Programs and Admissions Catalog.
Teacher Preparation
Students preparing to teach in elementary school complete a
major in elementary education. Prior to admission to the Teacher
Education Program, usually at the end of the sophomore year,
students are considered pre-education majors and are advised
by the Academic Advising Office. Upon admission to the program,
students are considered elementary education majors and are
advised within the department. Students preparing to teach business
education at the middle and high school level complete a major
in education and are advised within the department. Students
preparing to teach any other subject at the middle or high school
level will major in the subject area(s) they wish to teach,
e.g., English or mathematics. They are advised within their
major department and, upon admission to the Teacher education
Program, they also are advised within the Department of Curriculum
and Instruction. All secondary certification students seek admission
to the Teacher Education Program, usually at the end of the
sophomore year, and complete course work required for certification/licensure
in their chosen field(s). Applicants for state certification/licensure
must: (1) satisfy all course, credit, and degree requirements
as outlined below; (2) pass a standardized test as outlined
below; and (3) be at least 18 years of age.
Master's Degree and Secondary Certification
Degree-holding students may elect to apply to the department's
Graduate Program and combine the master's degree in curriculum
and instruction (curriculum studies option) with certification/licensure
to teach. This option is available to middle and high school
teacher candidates only. The program is specifically designed
for those students who have completed all or nearly all of the
content courses required for the chosen teaching major/minor.
Admission to the Teacher Education Program
All students seeking certification/licensure to teach apply
for admission to the Teacher Education Program. Admission is
limited each academic year to approximately 125 elementary and
125 secondary candidates. Deadlines for application are September
15 and February 15. To be eligible for admission a student must
have (1) completed 30 semester credits of college-level work;
(2) attained a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA)
of 2.75, including all transfer credits; (3) achieved passing
scores on one of the following tests from the Educational Testing
Service (ETS): Praxis I Academic Skills: PreProfessional Basic
Skills Test (PPST); Praxis I Academic skills: Computer Based
Test (CBT); or Graduate Record Exam (GRE); and (4) earned at
least a C in both an English composition course and an introductory
psychology course. In application to the Teacher Education Program,
students submit an essay writing sample, document formal experiences
working with children and youth, and present recommendations
from two faculty members who are familiar with their work as
students. Applicants should note that meeting minimum eligibility
requirements does not assure acceptance into the Teacher Education
Program. The CBT and GRE may now be taken on demand on the UM
campus through the UM Testing Service, 243-6257. The Teacher
Education Policy Packet that contains the policy handbook and
the application is available from the UC Bookstore.
Once admitted, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75
each semester in order to continue in the program. Students
who interrupt their studies for more than two years will be
placed on inactive status and must request reactivation in order
to resume their studies.
Students seeking a K 12 endorsement in library media, literacy,
or special education must have full admission into the Teacher
Education Program or already be a certified/licensed teacher
before applying to one of these specialized programs.
Admission Policy for Minority Students and Students with Disabilities
The Teacher Education Program is committed to providing opportunities
for teacher preparation for members of groups that historically
have been disadvantaged and subject to discrimination. The criteria
for admission are the same for members of racial, ethnic and
other minorities, and students with disabilities as for other
candidates; however, exceptions may be made to those admission
requirements. Candidates who do not meet one or more of the
criteria for admission are encouraged to describe in their applications
any special circumstances and/or special talents that may compensate
for unmet criteria. The physical, social, economic, and cultural
circumstances that may have influenced the candidate's ability
to achieve minimum eligibility for admission will be considered.
A special effort will be made to determine the candidate's abilities
and potential to overcome disadvantage or discrimination and
become a successful beginning teacher. Upon entry to the program,
the student will be assigned an advisor as a mentor. The student
and mentor will design an appropriate course of study to achieve
progress toward the degree and/or certification/licensure.
Application for Student Teaching
At the end of the junior year, students should begin planning
for student teaching. Students must meet the following criteria
to be eligible to student teach: (1) full admission into the
Teacher Education Program; (2) a grade of C or above in courses
required for certification; (3) a minimum cumulative GPA of
2.75 and 2.75 in each field of certification/licensure; and
(4) consent of the Director of Field Experiences. Any exception
to the requirements fro student teaching will be considered
on a petition basis. In addition, elementary education majors
must have completed the required courses in methods of elementary
teaching, and secondary students must have completed their methods
course and at least two thirds of the courses in their teaching
field(s). Recommendation from the departments in the major and/or
minor fields is also a prerequisite to student teaching. Candidates
for K 12 certification/licensure must student teach at both
elementary and secondary levels. Applications for student teaching
are contained in the Student Teaching Packet available in the
UC Bookstore. Consult the Teacher Education Policy Handbook
for application deadlines and procedures. Internships and practicums
in library media, literacy, and special education do not substitute
for the student teaching semester required for certification
in a subject field.
Native American Studies Course Requirement
Students preparing for certification/licensure in all programs
are required to complete a minimum of one course in Native American
Studies. Students also may choose ANTH 323H, Indians of Montana,
to meet this requirement.
Elementary Education Degree and Certification/Licensure
Requirements (Grades K 8)
To qualify for the Montana elementary teaching certificate/license,
candidates must earn a baccalaureate degree from the University
or other approved institution of higher education. The degree
in elementary education requires a minimum of 128 credits. Students
must complete all specific requirements listed below with a
grade of "C" or better. None of these courses may
be taken as pass/not pass except where that is the only grading
option.
Elementary education students must complete a 12-credit area
of concentration, selected from one of the following six elementary
curriculum categories: (1) English/language arts, including
reading/literary analysis; (2) fine arts; (3) health and human
performance; (4) mathematics; (5) science; and (6) social science.
Degree-holding students and transfer students should seek advice
about the substitution of course work completed in a previous
major or minor.
The Upper-division Writing Expectation must be met by successfully
completing an upper-division writing course from the approved
list in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this
catalog. See index. C&I 317, Teaching Language and Literacy,
will satisfy this requirement.
Information regarding the options and requirements for the 12-credit
area of concentration and all other elementary education degree
and certification requirements are outlined in the Teacher Education
Policy Handbook. The Policy Handbook and Application to the
Teacher Education Program are available in the UC Bookstore.
Students who are interested in preparing to teach K-3 are encouraged
to take C&I 330 Early Childhood Education; those who are
interested in preparing to teach 4-8 are encouraged to take
PSYC 240S Child and Adolescent Development.
