Adolescence Inclusive Education with
Middle Childhood Extension (Grade 5-12)

Program Information
The revised Adolescence Inclusive Education Program offers initial dual certification in Adolescence and Special Education with Middle Childhood Extension in grade 5-12. Revised program applications will be available online at www.brockport.edu/ehd by July 2007.  The Adolescence Inclusive Education Program with Middle Childhood Extension offers initial certification in grade 5-12 in the following subject areas: English, foreign language (French or Spanish), mathematics, science (Biology, Earth Science, Physics, and Chemistry), and social studies (History). Teacher candidates with dual certification will be qualified to teach in their content area of certification and in special education/inclusive classrooms in grade 5-12.  Enrollment into the program is based on current enrollment as an undergraduate at Brockport in one of the nine content majors: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, English (Literature Track), French, History, Mathematics, Physics, and Spanish. While most academic majors are 36 credit hours, some majors have additional hours and co-requisites as requirements.  The General Science extension in the science content majors of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics is an option, no longer a requirement in the revised program. The General Science Extension requires completion of 18 credits in at least two science areas other than the declared science major. Acceptance to the college does not guarantee acceptance to the program.  A separate application is required to apply for admission to the Adolescence Inclusive Education Program. Application review dates are September 15 and February 15. In times of high demand not all applicants meeting minimum requirements may be accepted.

Admissions Requirements at Time of Application

  1. Completion of a minimum of 45 hours of college-level course work.
  2. Completion (or in progress) of 15 credits in the content major prior to Phase I.
  3. Minimum cumulative >2.5 GPA both at Brockport and at prior colleges.
  4. Minimum cumulative >2.5 GPA in the content major.
  5. Submission of three recommendations: two academic recommendations from recent college professors, at least one recommendation must be from a professor in the content major; and the third professional recommendation from a volunteer or work experience.
  6. Submission of the application essay.

Note: While the 40 hour entry experience is no longer an admission requirement for the Adolescence Inclusive Education Program, the department strongly encourages applicants to gain a volunteer or work experience with adolescents prior to program admission.
