Description
To be eligible for institutional recommendation to the New York State Department of Education for initial teacher certification, students must successfully complete all degree requirements for the specific certification title being sought. These include the Teacher Education requirements (Pedagogical Core), the approved Major or Concentration requirements (Content Core), and the college-wide General Degree Requirements (Liberal Arts and Sciences Core). Each program combines an excellent liberal arts foundation with innovative, evidence-based instructional and assessment practices to prepare beginning teachers for the challenges of educating all children in today’s society. Furthermore, all programs leading to New York State certification prepare students to teach to the appropriate State and National Learning and Common Core Standards. Whenever possible, students are placed in schools where they have the opportunity to work with diverse populations across a variety of developmental levels.
