Math Education at Kentucky State University ===== PAGE 2 ===== # Math Education Degree Requirements ## THE MATH EDUCATION MAJOR The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics Education, grades 8-12 candidate will enroll as a mathematics major in the secondary teaching certification option. This is a B.A. degree in mathematics, which combines the University's commitment to a liberal arts education. This curriculum seeks to provide a breadth of skills, competencies, and experiences without sacrificing depth of understanding. There is an extreme shortage of math and science majors. The program prepares candidates who are able to think critically, integrate mathematics throughout the curriculum, demonstrate best practices and improve student learning outcomes. ## The School of Education The Educator Preparation Program is designed to prepare teachers to pursue positions in P-12 schools. There are 10 teaching areas in the Educator Preparation Program from which to choose. They are Studio Art Education, Biology Education, Elementary Education, English Education, Health Education (in conjunction with Physical Education Teaching), Math Education, Music Education, Social Studies Education, Physical Education Teaching and Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education. The School of Education has one graduate program the Master of Arts in Special Education (LBD P-12). There are two non-teaching areas in the School of Education: Physical Education and Child Development. As liberators through education, KSU teacher candidates are primarily learners who recognize the value of education and the inherent power of acquiring and utilizing knowledge. They understand the intellectual diligence required to acquire the knowledge necessary to qualify as a professional educator; they acquire the content knowledge important to the teaching in their content area; they know the primary importance of effective communication skills; they know the need to serve the community as a leader and role model who will shape diverse communities and exemplify the principles of high ethical conduct and individual responsibility; and they know that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor and continually seek to develop in their students a love of learning.
