Complete the two three-hour credit courses ENGL 1113 and ENGL 1213 with a minimum grade of C in each course . 8. Demonstrate expressed interest in teaching by prior experience and activities. 9. Complete EDUC 2113 Foundations of Education (including 30 hours of public school observation) with a minimum grade of C. 10. Completion of Portfolio Level 1 and Level 2. 11. Completion of Criminal History Disclosure Statement. 12. Completion of Plan of Study/Advisor Recommendation with signature of student and advisor. Permission to enroll in restricted courses, e.g., Professional Education semester, requires formal admission to the Department of Education or a special enrollment status granted by the Department of Education Chair. If an applicant is denied admission, re-application can be made upon removal of deficiencies. All appeals are initiated by the student and are forwarded to the Department of Education Chair’s Office for presentation to the Admission/Retention Committee. In order to continue in a teacher education program, a student must maintain a standard equal to that which permitted admission. The Department of Education monitors each student on a semester basis from the point of admission according to previously stated criteria. Those students who fail to maintain standards which permitted admission are informed through written correspondence from the chair, admission and retention, regarding options at their disposal, e.g., probation and/or suspension.
The principal purpose of the Department of Education is to provide the necessary background in professional education for the development of competencies which will contribute to successful teaching, administration, and supervision in the elementary and secondary schools. The Department of Education provides students with appropriate experiences in teaching, human growth and development, educational psychology, content, methods and materials, and directed observation and field practicum. Prospective teachers are required to participate in observation and student teaching in cooperating public schools. As a result of state legislative actions, changes in state certification requirements, and/or changes in requirements at SWOSU, there may be additional entrance and exit standards throughout the teacher education programs. ADMISSION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION A student must apply for admission to the program in the Department of Education Chair’s office. Normally, this is accomplished in the sophomore year concurrently with enrollment in Foundations of Education. A student is permitted to take professional semester only after being admitted to the Department of Education. Transfer students may request a one- semester temporary permit to enroll in restricted courses provided they have at least a 2.50 overall grade point average. Admission to the Department of Education is by approval of the Admission and Retention Committee. A student, to be approved, must meet the following requirements: 1. Complete appropriate admission forms and portfolio and submit them to the chair of the Elementary/Secondary Education department. Applicants must include a current transcript. 2. Achieve an overall grade point average of not less than 2.50 in all work attempted.
