The Heidelberg College Department of Education offers teacher preparation programs that lead to licensure in the State of Ohio and that meet Ohio Department of Education guidelines. While specific elements of teacher licensure vary from state to state, there is sufficient similarity so that the programs offered at Heidelberg will satisfy requirements in many states.

Ohio provisional teaching licenses are awarded to Education Majors in the following areas:
I. Early Childhood Education-Pre-K through Grade 3
II. Middle Childhood Education-Grades 4 through 9
III. Adolescent to Young Adult-Grades 7 through 12
IV. Multi-Age-Spanish, German, Health, Physical Education, Music-Pre-K through Grade 12
V. Intervention Specialist-(Special Education) Ages 3-21

Students may gain licensure in one of the first four areas listed above or (1) may add Intervention Specialist to any of the above, (this is not a stand-alone program at Heidelberg) or (2) may wish to seek a combination of two of the first four licenses. Note that this will require additional coursework and will take additional time. Also, some students will have a double major, e.g., Math and AYA or German and Multi-Age.

Entering freshmen will be classified as Education Candidate Majors (EDC) and will take EDU 110 or MUS 110 (Music Education majors only), EDU 115 and PSY 101 during their freshman year. Upon successful completion of these courses (C - or higher), students may enroll in EDU 200, the accompanying seminar, and EIS 265. Upon successful completion of these courses (C -
or higher), students may enroll in EDU 220 and the accompanying seminar. Students enrolled in EDU 220 will be required to take the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) subtest of Praxis II prior to the end of the course. During EDU 220, students should apply for admission to the Education Licensure Program. To be admitted into the licensure program, students must: (1) earn a score of 175 or higher on the Pre-Professional Skills Test (Praxis I), and (2) have taken the PLT subtest of Praxis II. (The Praxis I requirement will be waived if the student has an ACT Composite Score of 21 or higher, or an SAT composite score of 1,000. If needed, Praxis I should be taken before or during the freshman year.) There is a fee for the Praxis exams.

Students must maintain a 3.00 cumulative GPA in order to enroll in all EIS and EDU courses above EDU 228 and EIS 272. (The 3.00 GPA may be waived if the student has earned a passing score on all Praxis II sub tests required for his/her licensure area. Once accepted into the licensure program, students will be classified as Education Licensure Majors (EDL). Students will not be
permitted to begin classes above EDU 228 and EIS 272 unless they are classified as EDL. A one week residential camp experience with a diverse student population is required in EIS 265.

Licensure candidates must earn state passing scores on all Praxis II sub tests required for their licensure area before they will be permitted to register for student teaching (EDU 426, 427, 428, 429, 430).

Upon graduation, students will receive a two-year Ohio provisional license. This two-year license allows the graduate to participate in an entry year program in a school setting and prepare for Praxis III assessment. The entry year program is similar to an internship where the teacher is paid but works closely with a mentor teacher. Upon satisfactory completion of this entry year program and the Praxis III assessment, a five-year professional license will be issued.

All Early and Middle Childhood Majors who began their program after January 2003 will also be able to add reading as a teaching area to their licensure. The required courses include EDU 230, 344 or 350, 414 and EIS 365. Anyone who has graduated without reading teacher status may also add reading to their licensure after completing the above courses.

The two-year provisional license may also be used to work as a substitute if the graduate does not participate in an entry year program. This license may be renewed as often as desired with 3 semester hours of additional coursework for each renewal.

All Education Majors must complete the education licensure core courses. Beyond these, students need to complete the courses required for their specific licensure area. Any EDU or EIS course that is used as a prerequisite for any other EDU or EIS course must be passed with a grade of C- or better.

For the 2002-2003 academic year, Heidelberg College had a summary pass rate of 92% on the required Praxis II licensure tests. The 3-year follow-up pass rate on all required Praxis II licensure tests for the 2000-2001 completers cohort is 98%.

Students are responsible for making their own transportation arrangements to field placements.

GRADUATE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES
Master of Arts in Education
Professors Armstrong, Baker, Moon, and Weininger; Associate Professors Haley and Stein; Assistant Professors Corley and Steffy.

The purpose of the MA in Education program is to develop teachers who exercise leadership within their professional communities and academic institutions. The program is designed to develop experienced elementary and secondary school teachers who are recognized as master reachers because of their advanced knowledge and skills and their deep commitment to responsible professionalism.

Vital Connections is the constructivist framework for the education licensure programs at Heidelberg College. It is based on the notion that students are actively involved in constructing their own philosophy of education, implementing, and revising it. This involves three phases. The first is becoming familiar with education theory as presented in the various classes. The
second phase is practice in the schools, both vicarious and active. The third phase involves reflection on one's experiences as they relate to theory and revision of one's plans for subsequent experiences. The three phases are synergistic (they interact with one another) and symbiotic (they are interdependent). Thus, constructivism is at the core of the conceptual framework and
the tools of theory, practice, and reflection are used (1) to build one's understanding of the teaching/learning process, and (2) to connect the constructivist core to the individual.

ENGLISH

Professors Reyer and Wahlstrom; Associate Professor Kimmel; Assistant Professor Collar.

Courses in English enhance literary appreciation and interpretation and refine analytical and writing skills, techniques which help students become successful and productive professionals. English courses also acknowledge the value of the entire spectrum of the liberal arts: the other humanities, performing arts, sciences, social sciences and business. An English major provides students with a truly liberal arts education.

English majors find careers in nearly every profession. Alumni have careers in technical writing, publishing, journalism, public relations, public service organizations, financial institutions, law, libraries, museums, education - in short, in professions of all kinds. English is an excellent pre-professional major too. Oftentimes later in their careers, English majors complete masters' degrees in other subjects - business, counseling, education, to name only a few.

A second major or a minor in English complements work in other fields. Employers in the scientific, industrial, and business professions want employees who can think analytically and creatively and who can communicate their ideas effectively, typical strengths of an English major or minor.
