Elementary Education Major - Early Childhood Birth-Grade 3 Concentration
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR
The UW-Superior Teacher Education program offers three tracks towards earning a Wisconsin teaching license in Elementary Education. Each concentration has specific coursework (Major and Minor) and other requirements to be eligible for licensure.
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR - Early Childhood Birth-Grade 3 Concentration
UW-Superior education programs are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to fulfill specific licensure requirements for the state of Wisconsin at the time of degree completion. Some requirements may unavoidably change as state requirements change; students should stay in close communication with their advisors throughout your program. If students seek licensure in a state other than Wisconsin, they should review the UW-Superior Institutional Certification Office web page for further information and assistance.
General Education Requirement: All students seeking an elementary education major must complete the university's General Education requirements or the fulfillment of an AA< AS, BA, or BS degree from another institution that includes an approved environmental science course.
Elementary Education Major - Early Childhood Birth-Grade 3 Concentration
To be eligible for the Wisconsin ELED Birth to Grade 3 teaching license, students must successfully complete the Elementary Education Major-Early Childhood Birth-Grade 3 major concentration, the Early Childhood minor, and Student Teaching. A grade of C must be earned in all major and minor courses (except for B requirements in TED 200 Introduction to Education, and the pass requirement in TED 100 Orientation to Teacher Education). This license also requires a passing score on the approved pedagogical knowledge assessments, a passing score on approved content knowledge assessment, and the Wisconsin Foundation of Reading Test.
