About This Program

Requirements for Program The Early Elementary Education Program is aligned with the New Teacher Standards of the Kentucky Education Professional Standards Board, and the national standards for elementary education approved by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The model for the early elementary education program presumes a collaborative relationship between school and university personnel focused on ensuring a high level of individual attention to the mentoring and socialization of teacher candidates. The faculty recognizes that this is a laborintensive process, requiring sustained time and effort by all parties. Work in early elementary education must be guided by two principles: first, a commitment to continuous improvement based on reflection, evaluation, and on-going research; second, a commitment to peer collaboration as a source of professional growth for teacher candidates as well as school and university faculty. To receive the B.A. degree in Early Elementary Education, students must: (1) complete the UK Core requirements; (2) complete the program related studies courses; and (3) complete the professional education component. Continuous Assessment 1. Admission to the program is based on a selective admission process that generally occurs after students have completed at least 45 hours of university course work.
