You are prepared to meet the educational, behavioral and social-emotional needs of children, ages birth to age 8 or grade 3, in the Bachelor of Arts in Education program in early childhood education. This program focuses on child development and best practices in early childhood education, including the skills to create inclusive learning environments; conduct instructional design, planning and facilitation; and assess, monitor and report the progress of young children. Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation has developed a team-based approach to teacher preparation, enabling you to participate in professional experiences (internships and student teaching) with a team of peers while receiving guidance and support from ASU faculty members and highly qualified certified teachers. Team-based professional experiences prepare you to work with mutually supportive colleagues to address the academic and social-emotional needs of learners. Clinically embedded courses and professional experiences provide you with multiple opportunities to apply knowledge learned in coursework to practice in the classroom. You complete a series of internships before a semester-long full-time student teaching experience, with the support of a certified mentor teacher and ASU faculty. Upon graduation, you will be eligible to earn an institutional recommendation from ASU for Arizona teacher certification in Early Childhood Education, Birth-Age 8/Grade 3, as well as a Structured English Immersion, PreK-12, endorsement from the Arizona Department of Education. To teach in an Arizona public school, you must pass the appropriate Arizona educator exams: National Evaluation Series or Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessments.
