The Curriculum and Instruction Department provides four undergraduate teacher licensure programs and a minor in Bilingual/ESL Education.
The Early Childhood Education major is a dual early childhood program
that results in Wisconsin teaching licensure is regular and special education
for birth through third grade. See the program description and list of
classes on page 133.
The Elementary (1-6) or Elementary/Middle (1-9) leads to licensure in
the grades indicated. The programs include an elementary education major,
and approved minor and a wide range of professional education courses.
A module in preschool-kindergarten may only be added to an elementary or
elementary/middle major (see below for more information). Special emphasis
is placed on fieldwork in schools and developing the skills to work with
children who may vary widely in background and educational need. A special
methods course in the minor may be required.
Middle/Secondary Education prepares students to teach in middle or junior
high schools and senior high schools. Academic major(s), minor(s), or broadfield
areas are complemented by educational foundations coursework, methods courses,
and field work which qualify students for middle/secondary teaching licensure.
For Middle/Secondary Education majors to be certified in their minor as
well as their major, they must have a methods course in the minor unless
the major and minor are in a compatible area. A listing of compatible majors
and minors is available in the Curriculum and Instruction Office.
The Bachelor of Science with an Elementary/Middle or Middle/Secondary
Education major with a minor in bilingual-bicultural or ESL education is
designed to provide instructional strategies and cultural understanding
for undergraduate/graduate students. (see page 131)
In addition to the programs offered through the department, the department
supports broad area majors in several fields. Broad area majors are as
follows: (Education Licensure Programs are also available.)
Art Education: The major in art education is outlined under Art.
Business Education: Majors in business education are outlined under
Business Education.
Driver Education: The program in driver education is outlined under
Occupational & Environmental Safety & Health.
Music Education: Majors in music education are outlined under Music.

AN APPROVED MINOR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS MAJOR
Middle-Level Licensure
To qualify for a license to teach at the middle level as well as in
grades 1-6, students in the Elementary/Middle Emphasis must complete all
the courses in an approved minor (see page 56) plus any additional licensure
requirements for that minor. Special licensure requirements for certain
minors include the following (refer to descriptions of the minors for details):
Bilingual/Bicultural Education minor: Complete bilingual student teaching or field study;
Foreign Language minor: Complete a methods course and a four-week immersion experience;
Health Education minor: Complete a health methods course;
Library Media K-12 minor: Complete practicum coursework.
MIDDLE/SECONDARY EDUCATION (6-12)
Middle/Secondary Education programs prepare students to teach specific
subjects in grades 6-12. Students in Middle/Secondary Education complete
an Education major in one of the subjects from the list below, plus a minor
of at least 22 units in any other subject:
Education Majors
Biology French Physical Science
Chemistry Geography Physics
Earth Science German Political Science
Economics History Psychology
English Mathematics Sociology
Spanish
Theatre
For descriptions of courses required in each major, look under that
subject in this catalog.
A set of courses consisting of at least 12 units from each of two closely
related subjects from the list above may be substituted for the minor.
Consult an adviser in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction to determine
approved combinations.
Broadfield majors, which prepare students to teach a set of related
subjects in grades 6-9, and selected subjects from the set in grades 10-12,
are available in Science (choose from several emphasis areas - refer to
specific sciences) and Social Studies (choose from several emphasis areas
- refer to specific social sciences). Students who complete a secondary
broadfield major select an emphasis subject within the broadfield, and
they do not need to complete a minor. Secondary broadfield majors include
the following:
Licensure Minors
Students who select a minor as well as a major from the list of Education
majors may obtain a 6-12 teaching license in both the major and minor subjects.
To do so may require taking an additional methods course, depending on
how closely the two subjects are related. For example students seeking
licensure in Computer Science must take SECNDED 428, Methods of Teaching
Mathematics. Students seeking licensure in Philosophy must take SECNDED
430, Methods of Teaching Social Studies. Consult an adviser in the Department
of Curriculum and Instruction to determine whether a particular major-minor
combination requires more than one methods course for licensure in both
subjects.
Middle/Secondary level licensure may also be obtained in the following
subjects by completing any of the following minors in conjunction with
any education major from the list above:
ESL and Bilingual/Bicultural Education (Bilingual Education License)
Coaching (Coaching Athletics License)
Computer Science Education (Computer Science License)
Health Education (Health License)
Library Media K-12 (School Media Specialist Provisional License)
Dance Secondary Education (Dance License)
Philosophy Education
Some minors are licensable for grades 6-12 only in conjunction with
specific majors. They are:
Journalism with and English Education major
Speech with an English Education major
Psychology only with another social science major (history, political
science, sociology, economics, geography, or broadfield social studies)
Students seeking licensure to teach psychology, whether through a minor or a major, must select an Education major in another of the social sciences.
Note that middle-level (6-9) licensure may also be obtained in most
of the subjects listed in this section by completing a minor in conjunction
with an Elementary Education major.
Middle/Secondary school licensure options are also available in the
Art Education, Business Education, Music Education, and Physical Education
programs. Refer to descriptions of those programs in this catalog for details.
Licensure courses in 6-12 programs
In addition to major and minor requirements, students in middle/secondary
programs complete coursework and field experiences that provide opportunities
to synthesize and apply knowledge of subject matter in middle schools and
high schools. A typical sequence of courses is as follows:
1. Psychology of the Exceptional Child (3 units)
2. Pre-Professional Block (9 units):
(Prerequisites: G.P.A. of 2.75 or better and passing scores on at least two parts of the Pre-Professional Skills Test; refer to Educational Foundations for course descriptions)
Education in a Pluralistic Society
Educational Psychology
Observation and Participation-Secondary
3. Measurement and Evaluation in the Secondary School (3 units) (Prerequisite: Admission to Professional Education)
(Refer to Educational Foundations for course description)
4. Methods Block (at least 11 units):
(Prerequisite: Admission to Professional Education)
Methods course(s) in the licensure subject(s)
Developmental Reading in the secondary school
Secondary Field Studies
Directed Teaching-Alternate Experience
5. Directed Teaching in the major subject
Note: Students who do Directed Teaching in a high school must do Directed
Teaching-Alternate Experience in a middle school, and vice versa.
Subject-Specific Licensure Requirements
In addition to the above licensure sequence, which is common to all
middle/secondary programs, some subjects require additional coursework
beyond the major in order to obtain licensure. Refer to the course descriptions
in each department for details. Note that the Academic Advising Report
(AR) lists the specific licensure requirements for only one subject. Students
seeking licensure in more than one subject are responsible for all requirements
listed under licensure in each of the subjects whether they appear on the
AR or not. Refer to particular departments for details.
Important subject-specific licensure requirements include the following:
Social sciences majors (except Psychology) must complete coursework
in economic cooperatives and environmental studies as specified for the
major;
Science majors must complete coursework in environmental studies as
specified;
English majors must complete coursework in literature for adolescents
and literature by authors belonging to American minority groups as specified
for the major;
Foreign language majors, within three years of taking the methods course,
must complete a four-week residency requirement in a location where the
foreign language is the predominant medium of communication.
Bilingual/Bicultural and ESL Education minors must complete bilingual
student teaching or field study;
Health minors must complete a methods course in health;
