(Initial Program–Does Not Lead to Teacher Licensure) This program does not include a student teaching component, and does not therefore lead to licensure, but may lead to career advancement for those already licensed as teachers. The program is designed for any individual interested in the education of children in elementary or middle school. The format and courses of this regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that teacher candidates possess upon graduation. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of educational psychology, philosophy, methodology, and curriculum development. All courses are directly aligned with Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) principles. Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program. Assignments within many of the courses guide students through more than 100 hours of observational and practice-based experiences. Students have the option of transferring into the version of the program that leads to initial teacher licensure up to, but not after, the time of degree posting. Graduates of the program are prepared to become informed educators in the home, church, private schools, and other settings not requiring a teaching license. This program does not include a student teaching component, and does not therefore lead to licensure, but may lead to career advancement for those already licensed as teachers.
