Teaching program changed to 5 years by David Armstrong With an awareness that teacher education in the country leaves a lot to be desired, the UNH Education Department is significantly revising its curriculum. Starting in February, the Education Department will phase in a new program of study for students in elementary and secondary education. According to Mike Andrew, professor of education, students will no longer be able to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in elementary educa tion. There will be no four year certification to teach except in specialized areas, such as occupational education. Education students will follow a five year program which, upon completion , will give them a Master’s Degree in teaching, a Bache lor’s degree in some discipline other than education, a year’s experi ence of intern teaching and a specialization in some field of educa tion or teaching. Students in education will be able to complete four years of study in almost any field before taking the necessary courses for certifica tion, according to Andrew. As early as freshman year, students can elect to take an “exploring teaching” course. According to a draft of the five year program, “This initial phase of the program features an early experience in the schools as teacher aid and teaching assistant. Students may select this four credit experience at any time, although most students will choose it in their freshman or sophomore year. This initial phase will provide students with an opportunity to explore various kinds of teaching sites, working side by side with experienced teachers.” Students who decide they are interested in teaching after complet ing the exploring course will then take courses from each of four different teaching modules, according to education instructor Ellen The Paul Winter Consort presented us with a true rarity —a freebie concert Corcoran.
