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
elementary, middle, and secondary levels. 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
back to top
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 elementary, middle, and high school teacher
candidates only.
At the secondary level, the program may be completed in a summer-autumn-spring-summer
sequence provided the student has completed previously most of the
content courses listed on the following pages by subject area. At
the elementary level, the program typically takes two years.
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 back
to top
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
318, Teaching Language and Literacy and C&I 407E, Ethics and Policy
Issues, 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.
