Graduates are prepared to teach history, civics, sociology, economics, geography, and anthropology, along with a wide range of area studies and courses ordinarily associated with social studies.\r\nTo qualify for the University of Connecticut's institutional recommendation for certification, any applicant must successfully complete the Integrated Bachelor's/Master's Teacher Education Program, involving five years of full-time study. Prospective teachers complete at least two years of course work in general education and in a subject area major prior to admission to the Neag School of Education. This is followed by two years of full-time course work in a subject area major and professional education while enrolled in the undergraduate teacher education program and one additional year of full-time course work in professional education while enrolled in the Graduate School to earn the Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction or Master of Arts in Educational Psychology. Connecticut's Praxis Core assessment and subject knowledge testing requirements must also be successfully completed.\r\nNational and State RequirementsThe Connecticut State Board of Education maintains minimum requirements for certification for positions in the public schools of Connecticut. The faculty of the Neag School of Education prepares students to meet certification requirements. The certification officer is responsible for supplying the Connecticut State Department of Education with an institutional recommendation for all students from this institution seeking certification and will recommend only those candidates completing the most recent requirements.In accordance with Connecticut Public Act 09-1, fingerprinting and a criminal background check are required prior to placement in a clinical assignment. In certain circumstances, evidence of a criminal record may prevent a student from fulfilling clinical requirements for program completion and professional licensure.Connecticut statute mandates a series of assessments for prospective teachers.- Students admitted to teacher education programs must take the Praxis Core tests or meet the waiver criteria. Additional information regarding approved tests and eligibility criteria for a Praxis Core waiver is included elsewhere in this chapter related to admission to Neag School of Education program.- Students planning to apply for teacher certification in Connecticut or elsewhere should contact their academic advisor regarding subject knowledge testing. No graduate may be recommended for a teaching certificate until successfully completing Connecticut's subject knowledge testing requirements (e.g., Praxis II, ACTFL, Foundations of Reading, edTPA). Title II of the Higher Education Act requires that teacher education programs annually report on several items including how well program completers perform on state licensing and certification assessments. The most recent Neag School of Education program completion data is available at data.education.uconn.edu/title-ii-data-reports/ (see: http://data.education.uconn.edu/title-ii-data-reports/).\r\nBecause of the nature of Connecticut's certification and educator preparation program approval regulations, including the standards of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation and its professional associations, students must satisfy all program requirements in order to be recommended for certification."},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-b292f406-b76c-4b0d-8eb0-789488e8f80c"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://admissions.uconn.edu/","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}]}
