  7. The course you are sleeping, I mean sitting in now is part ofthe Early Childhood programs

  8. If you want to teach Middle or High School The program you should be considering is: 1 OF THE 4 ADOLESCENCE EDUCATION OPTIONS These programs are liberal arts transfer programs with St. Joseph’s College. The Early Childhood classes WON’T count toward these programs or at St. Joe’s. EDU101 may be relevant and helpful in some limited ways. The other Early Childhood courses would not be very relevant. The prerequisites for admission into these programs are: ENG101 and a math or science course as specified in the catalog with a combined GPA in those courses of 3.0 or better.

  9. If you want to teach Elementary School*The NYS Elementary Education License is Grades 1 to 6* The program you should be considering, particularly if you’re interested in the older grades, is: THE CHILD STUDY PROGRAM This program is also a liberal arts transfer program with St. Joseph’s. The Early Childhood classes will NOT count toward this program or at St. Joe’s. But…

  10. Students in the Child Study programare sometimes advised to take an Early Childhood class or twoas extra electives anyway.WHY?1. They might not know yet what age group most appeals to them.2. It’s the only way to take an education course early to see if teaching is for them.3. To be qualified to eventually teach pre-k and kindergartenthe EARLY CHILDHOOD teaching license (*Birth to Grade 2*) is required.The Early Childhood courses, particularly the curriculum courses,would help the elementary education student obtain that second license.4. First, second and third grade children are still in Early Childhood.Too many teachers don’t understand the developmental needs of these ages.Without our Early Childhood courses, Child Study students might be among them.

  11. If you think the Child Study program is the right one for you The prerequisites for this program are: ENG 101 PSY 101 a math or laboratory science with a combined GPA of 3.0 And you will have to decide if it is in your interest to continue in this Early Childhood course.

  12. And now we get… To the Early Childhood programs!

  13. As of Fall, 2011 There are now TWO Early Childhood programs: A program for those who plan to go straight into the field: EACH/AAS And a program for those who plan on transferring to a four year college to earn NYS teacher certification: ECAS/AS

  14. For those of you who want to (work in):Day CareNursery SchoolHead StartAs an Assistant in Public School Pre-K, Kindergarten or Special Ed.Open Your Own Home Child Care Program The EACH/AAS “terminal” program is the right one for you. It is essentially a continuation of what Suffolk has always offered… with a few minor changes

  15. The required courses for EACH/AAS EDU101: Foundations of Early Childhood Education EDU102: Curriculum for the Young Child I (new course) EDU103: Curriculum for the Young Child II (new course) EDU113: Infants and Toddlers: Programs and Care (new requirement) EDU211: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar I EDU221: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar II PSY201: Introduction to Psychology PSY203: Child Psychology (new course) (replaces PSY214: Child and Adolescent Psychology, which you will get credit for if already taken) PSY213: The Exceptional Child (new requirement) The other requirements for completion of the EACH/AAS degree are:

  16. A College Seminar ENG101: Standard Freshman Composition An English elective COM101: Introduction to Human Communication SOC101: Introduction to Sociology SOC203: Marriage and the Family A combination of 2 Math or Lab Science electives HSC101: Health Concepts or HSC112: Safety, First Aid and CPR HSC114: Group Dynamics Two Physical Education electives Two Unrestricted electives There are no prerequisites to enter this program. But students must get a C or better in all Early Childhood classes.

  17. Now IF… you have already taken one or more of the old requirements that are no longer offered EDU111, EDU115, EDU 202, EDU215 You can substitute each for one of the 4 new requirements EDU102, EDU103, EDU113, PSY213 and do not have to take them (NOTE: THIS IS ONLY TRUE IN THE EACH/AAS PROGRAM!)

  18. Now to the brand new ECAS/AS program!

  19. The ECAS/AS program isa transfer programfor those planning on going on to a four year college,usually to pursue NYS teacher certificationin Early Childhood Educationand become a public school pre-k to grade 2 teacher The colleges with which the ECAS/AS has an articulation agreement are Dowling and LIU (Riverhead), not St. Joseph’s.

  20. For the ECAS/AS transfer programthe required courses are: EDU101: Foundations of Early Childhood Education EDU102: Curriculum for the Young Child I EDU103: Curriculum for the Young Child II EDU211: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar I EDU221: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar II but not EDU113Infants and Toddlers: Programs and Care PSY201: Introduction to Psychology PSY203: Child Psychology PSY213: The Exceptional Child There are no substitutions, so some students may have to take a course similar to one they’ve already taken during this transition. It’s contractual, sorry. The only exception is PSY214 for PSY203, since PSY214 was in the contract. The other requirements for completion of the ECAS/AS degree are:

  21. A College Seminar ENG101: Standard Freshman Composition ENG102: Introduction to Literature 2 Semesters of a Foreign Language elective (ASL doesn’t count) A Math elective A Lab Science elective An Art or Music elective An American History elective An Other World Civilizations elective A Social Science restricted elective 2 Physical Education electives 1 Unrestricted elective The Prerequisites for this program are: PSY101, ENG101 and a Math or Lab Science elective with a combined GPA of 2.80 or better and a C or better in each Early Childhood class

  22. For Either Early Childhood Program: The Fieldwork course is a year-long course (EDU 211 in the Fall, EDU 221 in the Spring). Hence, it only starts in the Fall, so most of you who continue in Early Childhood will take it next year. It’s not N.Y.S. sanctioned student teaching but it’s excellent, hands-on, supervised practice (one half-day a week in the Fall, one full day or two half-days in the Spring) However, in order for you to be eligible to take it you must have completed both EDU 101 AND at least one of the curriculum courses, EDU 102 and/or EDU 103 (preferably both) this year. So if you’re not taking either EDU 102 or EDU 103 now (preferably 102) you must register for at least one of them (again, preferably both) next semester. You can take the other one along with the first semester of fieldwork if necessary.

  23. To Summarize

  24. For Further Advisement Ammerman Campus: Prof. Alan Weber Grant Campus: Dr. Lynn Liebert-Marx Eastern Campus: Prof. Kathleen Cummings Program Coordinator: Prof. Darlene Hochman You should seek out individual advisement, especially during Priority Registration, and you should go to the person who best knows the program.
