The School of Education is comprised of three departments--Curriculum
and Instruction, Health and Human Performance, and Educational
Leadership and Counseling. As a professional school within a research
university, the mission of the School of Education is to:
-Prepare professionals for education and human service professions;
-Advance and disseminate the body of knowledge in those professions;
-Provide knowledge resources and service to the professions and
the state.
In achieving this mission the School of Education endeavors to
promote excellence and to serve as an agent for positive change
in education and human service professions.
The School of Education operates as the coordinating unit for
the pre-service preparation of elementary and secondary teachers.
The Departments of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational
Leadership and Counseling prepare professionals for careers in
education with Bachelor’s, Master’s, Education Specialists,
and Doctor of Education programs. These programs are organized
to foster the development of learning communities and incorporate
three basic themes: integration of knowledge and experience; cooperation
among participants; and inclusiveness, caring, and respect for
others. The above programs are accredited at all levels by the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The Department of Health and Human Performance and the Counselor
Education program both prepare professionals for careers in human
service professions. Via its Bachelor and Master of Science degrees,
the Department of Health and Human Performance prepares students
in the areas of athletic training, exercise science, exercise
and performance psychology, and health promotion/education. The
National Athletic Training Association approved option in athletic
training is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied
Health Education Programs. Students pursuing the Master of Arts
in Counselor Education are prepared to work in a variety of community/agency
settings. Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared
to sit for the Licensed Practical Counselor or Licensed Practical
Clinical Counselor examination.
As part of its research and service endeavors, the School of Education
supports a Preschool Laboratory, Preschool Program, Health and
Human Performance Laboratory, and Teacher Resource Center. These
centers offer enhanced opportunities for student involvement and
learning.
Specific program options within the School of Education are described
below and in the various departmental sections of this catalog.

Department of Curriculum and Instruction
Carolyn J. Lott, 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. The Web
address for the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is http://www.soe.umt.edu/cni/default.php.
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, library-media services,
literacy education, and secondary education. Students may earn
the master’s degree in combination with requirements for
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, UM Graduate Programs and Admissions Catalog, and online:
http://www.soe.umt.edu/cni/graduate.php.
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
licensure in their chosen field(s). Applicants for state licensure
must: (1) satisfy all course, credit, and degree requirements
as outlined below; and (2) be at least 18 years of age.
Master’s Degree and Initial Licensure
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 licensure to
teach. This option is available to elementary, middle, and high
school teacher candidates.
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 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; and (3) 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 Teacher Education
Policy Packet that contains the policy handbook and the application
is available from the UC Bookstore and online: http://www.soe.umt.edu/forms.php.
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 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 licensure; (4) passed the University upper-division
writing proficiency assessment; and (5) consent of the Director
of Field Experiences. Any exception to the requirements for 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 licensure must student
teach at both elementary and secondary levels. Instructions for
student teaching are contained in the Student Teaching Packet
available in the UC Bookstore. Consult the Teacher Education Policy
Handbook or the web page
www.soe.umt.edu/forms.php, 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 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 Licensure Requirements (Grades K 8)
To qualify for the Montana elementary teaching 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.

Secondary Teaching Licensure Requirements(Grades 5 12)
To qualify for the Montana secondary teaching license, candidates
must possess a degree in the subject area they plan to teach at
the middle or high school level and complete requirements for
the teaching major/minor in their chosen field(s). If the candidate’s
major does not qualify as a single-field endorsement, he or she
also must complete requirements for a teaching minor. Candidates
in Business and Information Technology Education complete a major
in education (see this secondary option below). All prospective
middle and secondary teachers are advised to complete licensure
in more than one teaching field, even if the chosen field qualifies
as a single-field endorsement such as English or mathematics.
