Teacher
education in Elementary and Early Childhood is the primary focus of the Department
of Curriculum and Instruction. Students gain extensive field experiences
prior to intern teaching beginning with their first education class. A
strong emphasis is placed on active learning in both degree programs.
Faculty assist students in acquiring a solid theoretical base and provide students
with opportunities for practical application of theory within public school
settings. The Elementary Education program prepares students as teachers
in grades K-8 and meets all of the requirements leading to an Oklahoma Elementary
Education certificate. The undergraduate Early Childhood program prepares
students as teachers in preschool - 3rd grade.
