关于本项目

在小学教育和扫盲部, 皇冠官网网站的目标不仅仅是让未来的小学教师毕业. 皇冠官网网站的目标是让小学教育专业的学生有能力改变他们的生活, 他们的社区, 以及皇冠官网网站的子孙后代.

The Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education allows you to differentiate your 学习 through choices in coursework by choosing a licensure or non-licensure pathway and in selecting one of five concentrations:

• 应用发展心理学
• 女奇卡诺人/ o研究
• 文化和语言多样性(CLD)教育
• 学科知识(重点是自然科学、物理科学和社会科学)
• 民族研究 (计划于2023年秋季举行)
• 数学

同时, all Elementary Education Majors develop common educational knowledge that they apply during experiential 学习.

许可的途径

除了沉浸式的现场体验贯穿整个项目, you will experience two consecutive semesters in the Elementary Teacher 住院医生实习期.  You will spend significant time in an elementary classroom each semester at one of our partner public schools in the 丹佛 metropolitan area.  Each residency semester is intentionally paired with a hybrid co-requisite course and a residency seminar to further strengthen the professional abilities you bring into your first year of teaching.

Non-Licensure通路

对于不追求执照的学生, the extended residency with co-requisite coursework is replaced by coursework that prepares them for careers that build upon their expertise in teaching, 学习, 和教育.

实地经验课程

All students in this major will complete three 45-hour field experience courses throughout their program. 对于每门课程, you will be placed in a K-6 classroom with one of our partner Elementary schools in the 丹佛 metropolitan area.

你的第一个实地体验课程侧重于指导和评估, 第二个是关于读写能力, 第三个是关于数学和科学的.
