NOTE: The Department of Exercise, Sport and Health Studies will move from the College of Liberal Arts to the School of Education effective fall 1999, pending approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. For information on the Department of Exercise, Sport and Health Studies, please see page 172 of this catalog.

The School of Education at the University of Texas at Arlington offers certification, endorsements and/or degree opportunities for persons interested in becoming elementary, all-level, or secondary teachers and administrators. As part of a redesigned certification program, UTA emphasizes experiential learning models through field-based applications. Students spend a majority of time in public school classroom settings applying acquired content knowledge to learning situations with (1) public school students, (2) master public school teachers who serve as mentors, (3) principals and other school administrators who are instructional leaders, and (4) experienced university professors and instructors who provide the bridges from theory to application in today's diverse classrooms.

Certification and endorsement programs are designed to develop skilled and professionally competent teachers who have the ability to think critically and creatively. In acquiring certification, teacher candidates must demonstrate mastery of the state-adopted Learner-Centered Proficiencies that relate to the following essentials for effective teaching:

• A knowledge base (experience in the teaching field)

• Instructional ability (ability to teach in ways that cause children to learn)

• Communication (skills in relating to others)

• Diversity (ability and desire to work with all children)

• Professional growth (ongoing growth and development as an educator)

Candidates for certification actively demonstrate proficiency in the above essentials through assessment strategies such as individual portfolios, reflective journals and other performance-based assessments.

Non-degreed candidates seeking teacher certification must choose an appropriate academic major and earn a baccalaureate degree in addition to completing certification requirements. The School of Education offers undergraduate degrees in Interdisciplinary Studies and Child Studies leading to elementary teacher certification with an emphasis in Early Childhood, Bilingual Education, or Reading. Students may also complete a major in other academic specialization areas such as English, history, and other subjects.

Degreed students who qualify may pursue teacher certification with courses at the graduate level. See the Graduate Catalog for more information.

The UTA School of Education also offers a variety of graduate level master's degree programs in education leading to the Master of Education in Teaching (M.E.T.) or the Master of Education (M.Ed.), as well as professional certificate programs that provide opportunities for elementary and secondary teachers to continue developing effective teaching and administrative skills that are congruent with an expanding theoretical knowledge base and to specialize in related professional careers in school administration, reading and supervision. Endorsements to regular Texas teacher certificates are available at the graduate level in Early Childhood Education, English as a Second Language, Bilingual, and Gifted and Talented Education. For further descriptions, see the Graduate Catalog.

Candidates successfully completing prescribed programs are recommended for official Texas State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) credentials by UTA's School of Education.

Programs for Initial Teacher Certification

Students who are seeking initial teacher certification may or may not be pursuing a degree with the School of Education. Students seeking a bachelor's degree with initial teacher certification for the elementary grades may pursue the B.A. in Child Studies or the B.A. or the B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in early childhood education, bilingual education, reading, or an academic specialization. The remainder of those students pursuing initial teacher certification for the elementary or secondary grades will select a degree outside of teacher education and enroll in the School of Education only in the professional sequence leading to teacher certification.

The UTA School of Education prepares students for State Board for Educator Certification credentials under three basic plans: elementary, all-level and secondary teaching.

Elementary certification is available for students with academic specializations in the following areas: bilingual, biology, early childhood, English, French, geography, German, health, history, life earth-science, mathematics, physical education, physical science, reading, reading/ESL (graduate level), social studies, Spanish, speech communication and theatre arts.

All-level certification programs are available in music and physical education.

Secondary certification is available to students in the following academic areas: art, biology, chemistry, computer information systems, earth science, economics, English, French, geography, German, government, health, history, journalism, life-earth science, mathematics, music, physical education, physical science, physics, psychology, reading/ESL (graduate level), Russian, science composite, social studies composite, sociology, Spanish, speech communication and theatre arts.

The specific academic courses required are listed below each option. The appropriate academic advisor will determine specific course requirements for secondary and all-level teaching fields and/or elementary specializations. A list of academic advisors is available in the School of Education office.

Admission, Enrollment and Program Continuation

Eligibility for Admission and Enrollment

Students seeking teacher certification must meet specific criteria set by the School of Education and complete or satisfy the following requirements for unconditional admission:

• Completion of a minimum of 60 semester credit hours

• Petition for admission

• Certification Plan completed by the academic and education advisors

• Transcripts from each college or university the student has attended (reflecting all current/completed semesters)

• Pass all three parts of the TASP

• Have a GPA of at least 2.75 (overall or for the last 60 hours, whichever is higher)

• Any other assessment requirements deemed necessary by the School of Education

Conditional Admission: Applicants with a GPA of 2.50-2.74 (either overall or for the last 60 hours, whichever is higher) and a minimum GPA of 2.50 in teaching field or teaching specialization courses may be considered for admission under the condition that the minimum 2.75 GPA must be attained in order to proceed to the residency (final) semester.

Transfer Students: Certification programs for transfer students will be designed on an individual basis. To qualify for a recommendation for certification, a minimum or 15 semester credit hours in professional education must be completed at U.T. Arlington.

Additional Certification and Endorsements: To add additional areas of certification or endorsements, consult with an academic and/or certification advisor.

Certification Plans: Approved certification plans will be valid for two years. Candidates who do not complete their certification plans within two years must reapply for admission, initiate a new certification plan and meet any additional requirements in effect at that time. Due to changing requirements for Texas teacher certification, coursework in teacher education completed prior to the current application will possibly not be counted toward certification requirements.

Eligibility for Program Continuation

In addition to other requirements listed elsewhere, each candidate for certification must:

• Demonstrate suitability for admission to the teaching profession

• Demonstrate knowledge of and adherence to the Code of Ethics and Standard Practices for Texas Educators

Teacher Education students are also required to master the speech competencies associated with proficient oral communication in instructional settings. If a student is found to be deficient in these competencies, successful completion of SPCH 3315 or an approved substitute will be required.

Certification candidates may continue in their program(s) by showing progress through committee assessment of their teaching field(s) or specialization(s), and by maintaining a 2.75 GPA in their EDUC, ECED, and READ courses.

For certification, students must earn a grade of C or higher in all ECED, EDUC, and READ courses. Candidates will not be allowed to continue in the teacher certification program nor enroll for additional EDUC or READ courses if they:

• Receive a grade of D or F in more than one EDUC or READ or ECED course, or

• Receive a combination of grades of D or F on two attempts of the same course.

Retaking courses: (1) Two or more attempts of the same course results in an averaged grade. For example, if the first attempt is a D and the second attempt is a B, the averaged course grade is a C. (2) The University's grade replacement policy is not in effect for EDUC or READ coursework.

Continuation Committee: Should questions be raised by U.T. Arlington faculty or professional practitioners regarding a student's program continuation, the student will be notified and invited to respond to the Continuation Committee within the School of Education. Candidates for certification who withdraw or are withdrawn from internship or residency must be reviewed by the Continuation Committee prior to consideration for an additional internship or residency assignment or to be eligible for a deficiency plan or a post-baccalaureate internship.

Certification Program Requirements

Students admitted to the teacher certification program must complete the State Board of Educator Certification requirements which may exceed current University degree requirements as stated in the degree-granting academic requirements listed elsewhere, students must complete the following:

• Three semester hours of mathematics at the content level of college algebra or above.

• Three semester hours of fine arts (MUSI 1300 or 1301, ART 1301, THEA 1306 or 1343 are recommended). Music majors must take MUSI 2300.

• Three semester hours of electives from the following areas: foreign languages, fine arts, humanities, mathematics, natural science and social science.

Other Initial Certification Program Options

State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) Deficiency Plan

The School of Education will prepare State Board of Educator Certification Deficiency Plans at the request of school districts and candidates. Generally, students already hold the baccalaureate degree, and the certification deficiency plan states an applicant's academic and experiential deficiencies that must be completed prior to regular Texas certification. School districts may or may not choose to employ or assign individuals to responsibilities for which they are not certified based on the SBEC/University Deficiency Plan. For the preparation of deficiency plans, the School of Education charges a fee. (Current fees: $25 for U.T. Arlington graduates or $35 for non-U.T. Arlington graduates.)

Post Baccalaureate Program

Students with baccalaureate degrees may wish to consider the post baccalaureate program in initial teacher certification at UTA. See Graduate catalogue or the UTA School of Education graduate office for complete details.
