Chatham University Education
The Teacher Preparation Program offers teacher certification programs in early childhood education (N-3), elementary (K-6), secondary (7-12), art education (K-12), and environmental education (K-12). The program involves both classroom study and extensive field experiences, culminating in a 14-week Student Teaching experience.
The Liberal Arts Majors in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education offer a comprehensive preparation program for teaching young children predicated on a foundation in the liberal arts. Students in elementary and early childhood are required to complete a minor in an academic discipline as well as the sequence of professional preparation courses.
Students in secondary and K-12 certification areas must complete a major in the academic discipline: English, mathematics, history, physics, biology, chemistry, art, environmental science. Students also complete professional education coursework and field experiences, and candidates complete student teaching in grade levels representative of the candidate’s license.
Certification
In addition to Chatham University’s requirements for an academic degree, candidates seeking teacher licensure in Pennsylvania must also meet all requirements set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Certification requirements are set by the state of Pennsylvania and subject to change. Contact the teacher certification officer for current certification requirements.
