Important Curriculum Notes

Pre-K – 3 Curriculum

Teacher candidates in this curriculum may take EPSY 301 and EDUC 307 concurrently. Full

SARTE status is required for EDUC 307

Teacher candidates in this curriculum may take EDUC 304 and EPSY 301 concurrently. Full

SARTE status is required for EDUC 304.

Middle School 4-8 Curriculum

Teacher candidates in this curriculum choose two focus areas. The contents areas are English,

Math, Science and Social Studies.

Teacher candidates in this curriculum have to pass the content PRAXIS exams in the two content

areas chosen before student teaching.

Teacher candidates in this curriculum must make a “C” or better in all courses in the two focus

areas. For example if a student chooses English as one focus area, every English the student

takes (including English 101, 102 etc) must be completed with a “C” or better.

In the English focus area, a one hour field experience elective is required. Candidates should

take the one hour elective with ENG 467. The English department is developing the course and

should be available not earlier than Spring 12. If a candidate needs the elective before the

course is available, they must take an English course to meet the requirement.

Teacher candidates in this curriculum may take EDUC 304 instead of EDUC 308 if 308 is not

offered a given semester.

Special Education Grades 1 – 5

Teacher candidates in this curriculum must take either MUS 151 or ART 105. They cannot take

THE 131 or DNC 302 to substitute. If they took or wish to take MUS 291, it will substitute for

MUS 151.

Special Education Grades 4 – 8

Teacher candidates in this curriculum only choose one focus area. The contents areas are

English, Math, Science and Social Studies.

Teacher candidates in this curriculum may take EPSY 301 and EDUC 307 concurrently. Full

SARTE status is required for EDUC 307

Teacher candidates in this curriculum do not have to take COMM 210.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE

GPA AND DEGREE GPA

What is the difference between a degree grade point average and a cumulative grade point

average?

The grade point average computed on all hours attempted is the Cumulative Grade Point

Average. The Cumulative Grade Point Average is the only Grade Point Average that will appear

on the academic transcript prior to graduation. Academic standing, campus awards, and honors

will be determined by the cumulative GPA.

The Degree Grade Point Average is calculated using the last passing grade earned for courses

required within a curriculum and is used to determine a student’s eligibility for an

undergraduate degree. All prior attempts of courses repeated for credit are disregarded when

calculating the degree GPA through LEONet.

Procedure:

Candidates, who would like to request their degree grade point average, need to come into the

Department of Teaching and Learning’s office. These are looked up and listed after a semester

is competed, after grades are in the computer.

Possible Electives In the 2011-2012 Pre-K and 1-5 curriculum, teacher candidates need a 1 hour elective. If they do not have any extra courses, they can choose a course. These courses can be used as an elective. Students should read the course descriptions to get more information on meeting times per week. The level of difficulty of each course is not known.
