Overview

This major is intended to prepare students to become birth through grade 3 teaching specialists. As it is less than a 60-credit major it requires a minor or second major. Students seeking the teacher certification endorsement in early childhood education must complete Teacher Certification and Professional Education Program requirements. Successful completion of EDEC 492 and EDEC 493 (minimum of 12 credits) is expected before student teaching. Candidates must be fully admitted to the major prior to beginning the six-quarter sequence. Students enrolling in any course with a field experience must have a current WSP and FBI fingerprint and background clearance on file with CWU. Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: Apply specific content understanding, theoretical knowledge, and interdisciplinary teaching practices to plan, instruct, assess, analyze, and reflect upon standards-based instruction. Demonstrate appropriate professionalism in all aspects: Oral and written communication, collaboration, behavior, expressions, and attire relevant to working with children, parents, and professional colleagues in a school setting. Use their learning to independently create and manage a purposeful and intentional learning environment. Independently create and effectively deliver responsive and relevant curriculum. Engage in the continual development of a professional growth plan with reflective adjustment. Understand and implement the unique requirements of developmentally appropriate practice and domain-based learning with young children in theoretical and authentic settings.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
