Early Childhood Licensure
The Early Childhood Teacher Education Program prepares the teacher education candidate for an Ohio teaching license in early childhood teaching for pre-kindergarten through grade three. Studies include the general education core requirements and a wide range of professional education courses. In addition, students are provided opportunities to participate in extensive field-based experiences in diversified early childhood settings prior to student teaching. It is the nature of this program to integrate theory, practice and educational technology as the candidate is gradually inducted into the early childhood profession. It is the purpose of this program to develop reflective, problem-solving, caring teachers who have the knowledge base, the professional competencies, and the dispositions to be effective early childhood professionals. Program requirements include course work for a P-12 reading endorsement. The program models guidelines of the Ohio Department of Education, the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
