Adolescence Inclusive Generalist Foreign Language Education Program, Grades 5-12

Description

The Department of Education and Human Development offers an Adolescence Inclusive Education Program that includes initial dual certification in Adolescence Foreign Language (French or Spanish major), Grades 5-12 and Students with Disabilities Generalist, Grades 7-12.

Education is not an academic major at Brockport. Specific advisement is provided for both the academic major and the certification program. Students should contact the Department of Education and Human Development about educational certification requirements and their academic department about major and General Education requirements as early as possible when planning their programs.

Admission to the Program

Effective fall 2015 students entering the college must meet the SUNY System Board of Trustees additional requirements for admission to teacher preparation programs. As a result of these admission requirements, the Department of Education and Human Development has replaced the program application with a Declaration of Enrollment form.

The Declaration of Enrollment form serves as notification that a student is enrolled in an EHD Program and must complete a series of program pre-requisites in order to begin taking professional EDI courses (except EDI 413 Introduction to Special Education), after meeting the following:

1. At least 36 credit hours of college level coursework
2. Transfer students must apply and be admitted to the college and be eligible to register for classes prior to submitting a declaration of enrollment form.
3. Declaration of an approved academic major for Adolescence
4. Minimum 2.5 cumulative Brockport grade point average and prior college to maintain enrollment in an EHD Program
5. Completion or in progress of at least 15 credits in the academic major with a minimum 2.5 cumulative Brockport grade point average in the major
6. Submit a declaration of enrollment form by February 15 for best consideration for a fall semester start and September 15 for best consideration for a spring semester start.
