An outline summary of the requirements for graduation and certification for either elementary or secondary school teachers may be obtained from the Division on request. Elementary School Teachers The student preparing to teach in the elementary schools, kindergarten through grade six, will major in elementary education and will graduate from the Division. His adviser will be a member of the Division staff, and it is to the student's advantage that he begin planning his program early in the freshman year. The major in elementary education consists of a minimum of 48 credit hours in professional courses. These may be begun late in the sophomore year, and it is recommended that they be taken in the following sequence: Education 111, 101, 103, 121, 134, 135, 161, 136-137, 112, 139 or 140, 102. The academic area of concentration consisting of 40 credit hours, or the two lesser areas of concentration of 20 credit hours each, should be selected early in the student's program. The student may obtain a guide from the Division to assist in selecting courses for the fields of concentration. Both lower and upper division courses may be used in completing these fields. The fields from which the elementary teacher candidate may select to complete his 40 credit hour or 20 credit hour concentrations are as follows: English French German Spanish Art Music Speech and Drama History Botany Political Science Zoology Psychology Chemistry Sociology Mathematics Physical Education Physics *Child Development *Geography *Library Science (*Only 20 credit-hour concentrations provided) Student teaching (Education 137) is taken in selected public elementary classrooms under the direction of the classroom teachers and the college supervisors. This experience is on a full-day basis for a complete quarter. Assignments are made with consideration for the students' backgrounds, grade preferences, living accommodations, and the needs and wishes 106 of personnel in the cooperating schools. In general, the student takes this course in the fall or winter quarter of the Senior year. Student teaching is to be completed prior to the final quarter. Advanced students, who have completed the prerequisites, will be permitted to do their student teaching the last quarter of the junior year. Education 111, 101, 103, 121, 134, and 161 are prerequisites to student teaching.

He may choose, therefore, whether he will graduate in the Division of Education or in the division which provides his academic major. To graduate in Education he will need to complete at least six credit hours of work in professional education beyond the 33 hours required for certification. The student's adviser will be a staff member in the field of the student's academic (teaching) major. Also, he should receive help as needed from a staff member in his academic (teaching) minor. In meeting the requirements of the Education Division and for teacher certification, the student should consult with one of the professors of secondary education.
