Secondary Education Program Overview Secondary Education The Secondary Education Program at Peabody provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to complete degree requirements and teacher licensure in the following secondary endorsement areas: English, foreign language (French and Spanish until class of 2012), mathematics, science (biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics), and social studies (history, economics, political science, psychology and sociology). Added Endorsements Added Endorsements within the Social Sciences: Majors in economics, political science, psychology, and sociology who are seeking licensure in Secondary Education are required to have an added endorsement in history. An added endorsement in history requires 18 hours of history courses (6 hours of US history, 6 hours of European history, 3 hours of non Latin American, European History, or US and 3 hours of history 200. An individual who seeks primary endorsement in one social science area (government, economics, sociology, or psychology) may add an endorsement in another social science area by taking 9 hours of coursework in that content area. Licensure in Two Content Areas (e.g., Mathematics and History): ! Candidates seeking licensure in two different content areas must successfully complete: ! The methods course for each content area (e.g. MTED 2370 and SSED 2370) ! A practicum for each content area (e.g. MTED 2360 and SSED 2360) not to exceed 45 combined practicum hours. ! Student teaching split between the two content areas – e.g., with one placement in Mathematics and the other in Social Studies ! Student Teaching Seminar divided between the two content areas according to the placement. E.g., while student teaching in Mathematics the candidate attends the Math Seminar (MTED 2292); while student teaching in Social Studies the student attends the Social Studies Seminar (SSED 2292) Note: Vanderbilt students seeking Tennessee teacher licensure must apply for licensure through the Vanderbilt Office of Teacher Licensure and must meet licensure requirements in effect at the time of their graduation – which may be different from those in effect at the time they entered Vanderbilt. Requirements are currently undergoing change. Teacher licensure candidates are urged to consult the current Vanderbilt Undergraduate Catalog and/or materials published by the Vanderbilt Office of Teacher Licensure each year to keep abreast of possible changes in Tennessee requirements. Students are advised to be aware that the requirements may change after publications of the Handbook and so they should be alert to notices or reminders sent from advisors or from the Office of Teacher Licensure. Undergraduate Program Undergraduate students must complete Liberal Education Core requirements, Professional Education requirements, and a primary area of emphasis in at least one endorsement field, which involves 27 to 36 hours of course work in the discipline and results in a major in that area as defined by the College of Arts and Science. Undergraduate students applying for admission into the teacher education program (Screening I) and into student teaching (Screening II) for secondary licensure must be approved by the faculty in the Department of Teaching and Learning and by the faculties of each Arts & Science department in which the student is majoring and seeking licensure. Students are instructed to consult an advisor or the Director of Undergraduate Studies in each Arts & Science department involved in order to be informed of departmental policy on approving students for teacher licensure. The following pages include a listing of program requirements (courses and field work) and course descriptions, a schedule of coursework by major, a table of licensure requirements by content area, and a listing of courses that satisfy liberal core requirements and a supporting worksheet.
