The AA-T in Elementary Teacher Education degree is designed to prepare students to transfer to a four-year university with an Associate Degree in Elementary Teacher Education. Students will compete the lower-division requirements, including pre-professional supervised experience, needed to be prepared to enter an Elementary (Multiple Subject) Teaching Credential Program. Along with their general education requirements, students will begin their study of how children develop, as well as the theories and practices of becoming an elementary school teacher.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the program students will be able to: apply developmental theories to elementary school-age children and elementary school classrooms, demonstrate an introductory understanding of the requirements of the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, and discuss the history of education and current trends in education.
All courses used to satisfy the major for the Associate in Arts degree must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
