Accelerated Certification Program: Early Childhood/Special Education PreK—Grade 12 The accelerated certification program in early childhood/special education is designed to provide individuals, who have obtained a bachelor’s degree, with coursework that can lead to teaching certification in Pennsylvania. The program targets the development of skilled individuals, who can utilize best practices for planning and preparing environments and instruction in early childhood education classrooms. A PDE approved program of study must be successfully completed with an overall minimum grade point average of 3.00, including prerequisites required for recommendation for certification and 150 hours of fieldwork. All education majors require a 3.00 GPA to gain admission to the program and a cumulative 3.00 GPA to continue in the program as well as a combined cumulative 3.00 GPA in psychology, early childhood education, and special education. If a student applies to the program with less than a 3.00, the student can be provisionally accepted. The student will be allowed to take six (6) credits to see if a 3.00 can be obtained, then another six (6) credits to see if the 3.00 can be maintained. Students must obtain a “C” or better in the content courses for the major. Students earning lower than a “C” must retake the course. A letter grade of “B” or better is the minimum grade for each student teaching course in order to be recommended for certification. Students who successfully complete this program may apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) for teacher certification. PDE teacher certification is required to teach in most schools in the state. Students wishing to teach in states other than Pennsylvania should contact that state’s department of education for certification requirements.
