Certification in Adolescence English (Grades 5 – 12)
The Adolescence Education English Major with Students with Disabilities Studies Certification will allow students to prepare for CSTs in English and SWD All Grades certification. Students will complete a program of study to teach English in grades 5-12 and Students with Disabilities (All Grades). The program allows every student who so chooses the option of preparing for a career as an English teacher and as a Generalist special education teacher. Students in this program may pursue either the Literature or Creative Writing concentrations.
The English major is designed for students who wish to pursue a passion for reading and writing, and for those who seek a versatile education as they prepare for careers in education, law, business administration, public relations, advertising, government, or any field where analytical excellence and effective use of the English language are essential. English majors choose between a literature or creative writing concentration, where their course work is designed to develop analytical, research, and creative skills.
The Major in Adolescence Education: English with Students with Disabilities Studies Certification (AEESWD) is a 126-credit program. It includes 46 credits of EDI/PRO courses and 36 credits to complete the English Major Content Core. As with all other undergraduate degrees, students in the program will have to complete 32 credits of General Education courses. Because some General Education courses also count as content core or pedagogy core, there will be room for electives. This curriculum meets the requirements for initial certification as outlined by the State Education Department for Adolescence Education (grades 5 through 12). Students will have an assigned advisor in the English department who will work closely with colleagues in the Department of Education.
