School of Education

Donald L. Robson, Dean

Sharon Dinkel Uhlig, Associate Dean

The School of Education consists of three departments: the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, the Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling, and the Department of Health and Human Performance.

The School of Education is accredited at all levels by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges and the Montana State Board of Public Education.

Programs in the School of Education are organized to foster the development of a learning community and incorporate three basic themes: integration of knowledge and experience; cooperation among participants; and inclusivity, caring and respect for others. Programs at all levels emphasize professional ethics, a commitment to life-long learning, academic competence and skills in higher-order thinking, an appreciation for the integration of knowledge, a sense of self worth, and respect for the uniqueness of the individual and the diversity of cultural heritage. Program features include integrated instruction by course clusters or blocks, faculty collaboration and student cooperative learning, multiple assessment strategies, developmentally sequenced field experiences, and university-school partnership activities.

Two educational laboratories are associated with the School of Education: the Preschool Laboratory and the Co-Teach Preschool program. Students who will be teaching the primary grades or who wish to acquire additional skills for working with children with disabilities are strongly encouraged to participate in these laboratory programs.

Specific program options within the School of Education are described below and in the various departmental sections of this catalog.

Department of Curriculum and Instruction

Jean A. Luckowski, Chair

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers the Bachelor of Arts in Education degree and certification/licensure in elementary education and in business education. As well, it offers certification/licensure in a wide range of secondary programs for students who are earning or already have completed the baccalaureate degree in their chosen field(s) of interest. At the graduate level, the department offers the master's and doctoral degrees in curriculum and instruction. Programmatic themes across all levels include integration of instruction, collaborative learning, and respect for the individual.

Graduate Programs

The department offers the Master of Education (M.Ed.) And the Master of Arts (M.A.) In curriculum and instruction. Students select from one of the following options: curriculum studies, elementary education, instructional design for technology, library-media services, literacy education, secondary education, and special education. Students may earn the master's degree in combination with requirements for certification/licensure at the middle and secondary level. This option is explained further below. The department also offers the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) In curriculum and instruction. Information about these programs is available from the department office and in the UM Graduate Programs and Admissions Catalog.

Teacher Preparation

Students preparing to teach in elementary school complete a major in elementary education. Prior to admission to the Teacher Education Program, usually at the end of the sophomore year, students are considered pre-education majors and are advised by the Academic Advising Office. Upon admission to the program, students are considered elementary education majors and are advised within the department. Students preparing to teach business education at the middle and high school level complete a major in education and are advised within the department. Students preparing to teach any other subject at the middle or high school level will major in the subject area(s) they wish to teach, e.g., English or mathematics. They are advised within their major department and, upon admission to the Teacher education Program, they also are advised within the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. All secondary certification students seek admission to the Teacher Education Program, usually at the end of the sophomore year, and complete course work required for certification/licensure in their chosen field(s). Applicants for state certification/licensure must: (1) satisfy all course, credit, and degree requirements as outlined below; (2) pass a standardized test as outlined below; and (3) be at least 18 years of age.

Master's Degree and Secondary Certification

Degree-holding students may elect to apply to the department's Graduate Program and combine the master's degree in curriculum and instruction (curriculum studies option) with certification/licensure to teach. This option is available to middle and high school teacher candidates only. The program is specifically designed for those students who have completed all or nearly all of the content courses required for the chosen teaching major/minor.

Admission to the Teacher Education Program

All students seeking certification/licensure to teach apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program. Admission is limited each academic year to approximately 125 elementary and 125 secondary candidates. Deadlines for application are October 1 and March 1. To be eligible for admission a student must have (1) completed 30 semester credits of college-level work; (2) attained a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.75, including all transfer credits; (3) achieved passing scores on one of the following tests from the Educational Testing Service (ETS): Praxis I Academic Skills: PreProfessional Basic Skills Test (PPST); Praxis I Academic skills: Computer Based Test (CBT); or Graduate Record Exam (GRE); and (4) earned at least a C in both an English composition course and an introductory psychology course. In application to the Teacher Education Program, students submit an essay writing sample, document formal experiences working with children and youth, and present recommendations from two faculty members who are familiar with their work as students. Applicants should note that meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not assure acceptance into the Teacher Education Program. The CBT and GRE may now be taken on demand on the UM campus through the UM Testing Service, 243-6257. The admission application and Teacher Education Policy Handbook are available from the UC Bookstore.

Once admitted, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75 each semester in order to continue in the program. Students who interrupt their studies for more than two years will be placed on inactive status and must request reactivation in order to resume their studies.

Students seeking a K-12 endorsement in library-media, literacy or special education must have full admission into the Teacher Education Program or already be a certified/licensed teacher before applying to one of these specialized programs.

Admission Policy for Minority Students and Students with Disabilities

The Teacher Education Program is committed to providing opportunities for teacher preparation for members of groups that historically have been disadvantaged and subject to discrimination. The criteria for admission are the same for members of racial, ethnic and other minorities and students with disabilities as for other candidates; however, exceptions may be made to those admission requirements. Candidates who do not meet one or more of the criteria for admission are encouraged to describe in their applications any special circumstances and/or special talents that may compensate for unmet criteria. The physical, social, economic, and cultural circumstances that may have influenced the candidate's ability to achieve minimum eligibility for admission will be considered. A special effort will be made to determine the candidate's abilities and potential to overcome disadvantage or discrimination and become a successful beginning teacher. Upon entry to the program, the student will be assigned an advisor as a mentor. The student and mentor will design an appropriate course of study to achieve progress toward the degree and/or certification/licensure.

Application for Student Teaching

At the end of the junior year students should begin planning for student teaching. Students must meet the following criteria to be eligible to student teach: (1) full admission into the Teacher Education Program; (2) a grade of C or above in courses required for certification; (3) a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and 2.75 in each field of certification/licensure; and (4) consent of the Director of Field Experiences. In addition, elementary education majors must have completed the required courses in methods of elementary teaching, and secondary students must have completed their methods course and at least two-thirds of the courses in their teaching field(s). Recommendation from the departments in the major and/or minor fields is also a prerequisite to student teaching. Candidates for K-12 certification/licensure must student teach at both elementary and secondary levels. Applications for student teaching are contained in the Student Teaching Packet available in the UC Bookstore. Consult the Teacher Education Policy Handbook for application deadlines and procedures. Internships and practicums in library media, literacy and special education do not substitute for the student teaching semester required for certification in a subject field.

Native American Studies Course Requirement

Students preparing for certification/licensure in all programs are required to complete at least one course relating to the contribution and status of minorities, with specific emphasis on Native Americans in Montana and North America and the nature of prejudice. Students may select from the following list of courses or an approved substitute:

Elementary Education Degree and Certification/Licensure Requirements (Grades K-8)

To qualify for the Montana elementary teaching certificate/license, candidates must earn a baccalaureate degree from the University or other approved institution of higher education. The degree in elementary education requires a minimum of 128 credits. Students must complete all specific requirements listed below with a grade of "C" or better. None of these courses may be taken as pass/not pass except where that is the only grading option.

Elementary education students must complete a 12-credit area of concentration, selected from one of the following six elementary curriculum categories: (1) English/language arts, including reading/literary analysis; (2) fine arts; (3) health and human performance; (4) mathematics; (5) science; and (6) social science. Degree-holding students and transfer students should seek advice about the substitution of course work completed in a previous major or minor.

Information regarding the options and requirements for the 12-credit area of concentration and all other elementary education degree and certification requirements are outlined in the Teacher Education Program Handbook. The Policy Handbook and Application to the Teacher Education Program are available in the UC Bookstore.

Students who are interested in preparing to teach K-3 are encouraged to take C&I 330 Early Childhood Education; those who are interested in preparing to teach 4-8 are encouraged to take PSYC 240S Child and Adolescent Development.
