Alternate Adolescence Inclusive Education Programs

Alternate Adolescence Inclusive Education Programs

Description

These programs were developed for persons with a baccalaureate degree who do not hold initial certification and wish to obtain New York State initial and professional certifications in grades 7-12 content area (English, Social Studies, Mathematics or Science), middle childhood grades 5-6 extension, and students with disabilities in a content area grades 7-12.

Admission to the program

  1. A baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year college or university (see the Graduate Admissions section of this catalog for further details) with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
  2. An academic major in the program discipline or equivalent (30 credits in the discipline) as previously described.
  3. Satisfactory completion, with a grade of "B" or better, of a course in adolescent psychology (equivalent to PSH 484 at Brockport).
  4. Satisfactory completion, with a grade of "B" or better, of a course in personal health (equivalent to HLS 301[3 cr.] or PRO 370 [1 cr.] at Brockport).

Additional Requirements

The College endorsements of the candidate's applications for certificates are made only after program completion and the awarding of the Master of Science in Education. Candidates are not eligible for the College endorsements for certification prior to program completion.

The following New York State initial certification requirements are not included in the alternate master's program:

  • One college level course in a language other than English (American Sign Language is acceptable) with a minimum grade of "C" , an 85 or higher on the high school Regents exam for a language other than English, or the equivalent (determined by a placement examination)
  • Successful completion of four state teacher certification examinations (including the LAST, ATS-W and appropriate Content Specialty Tests in the content area and Students with Disabilities)
  • State mandated fingerprinting
  • Identification and Reporting of Child Abuse and Maltreatment workshop
  • School Violence Prevention Training workshop (also known as SAVE training)

Alternate Programs and Professional Certification

As mentioned earlier, completion of the MS in Education satisfies the academic requirement for a New York State professional certificate--the final certificate in the licensure process. While the student will qualify for the professional certificate endorsement upon program completion, he/she may still have the three-year teaching requirements to fulfill.
