Michael Smith; Assistant Professor: Francis J. Bybee, Alfred Forsyth, Linda Gowens, Linda Oda, Jack L. Rasmussen, Ines A. Salman, MaryAnn Williams; Instructor Specialist: Judy Bezoski.; Instructor: Ray Wong Description The major purpose of the professional education curricula in teacher education is to prepare candidates for teaching in the elementary, middle and secondary schools. Preparation is also provided for teachers of mild and moderately handicapped students in public schools under special education resource programs. All programs for elementary and secondary teachers are approved by the Utah State Board of Education and are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The preparation for teaching falls academically within three major categories: general education, subject specialization, and professional education. 1. General Education requirements—In selecting courses to satisfy the General Education requirements, students should note the General Education courses recommended and/or required in their major program outline. 2. Subject Specialization is required of all prospective elementary and secondary students. Subject specialization for the prospective secondary school teacher consists of completing a teaching major, a teaching minor, or a composite teaching major, all of which are currently being taught in Utah secondary schools. The program outline lists acceptable subject specialization areas and requirements. Interdisc.
