NOTE: Applications for admission to Supervised Teaching may be obtained from and submitted to the Director of Supervised Teaching.

Students are fully responsible for arranging all required transportation that results from participation in Supervised Teaching. A student who has been approved for admission to Supervised Teaching who does not complete all prerequisites or maintain the required criteria for admission will be denied the opportunity to enroll in the Supervised Teaching course. After deficiencies have been corrected, the student's case shall be subject to review by the Teacher Education Committee before the student is permitted to enroll for Supervised Teaching at a later date.

Students are not permitted to take other regular college courses or hold employment during the period of Supervised Teaching. Exemptions from this standard will be considered by the Teacher Education Committee. Students who disregard this requirement shall be subject to suspension from the Supervised Teaching Program.

Students seeking teacher certification in most states, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky, must select the age/grade level which they wish to teach. Certification programs available at Kentucky State University meet state requirements for Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education (Birth to Primary); Elementary Education (Primary–5th grade); Secondary Education (Grades 8–12 in Biology, English, Mathematics, and Social Studies); and multi-grade programs in Art, Music, and Physical Education (Primary–12th grade). A teaching endorsement in Computer Science is also available.

To obtain the baccalaureate degree in any area of education, students must complete all campus-wide Liberal Studies requirements. In addition, teacher candidates must be formally admitted to the Teacher Education Program (Major Checkpoint 1); complete Generalist Concentration or Specialty Area courses and Professional Education courses at required levels; be formally admitted to Supervised Teaching (Major Checkpoint 2); and complete Supervised Teaching.

Students seeking certification to teach in this area must fulfill all certification and admission requirements of Teacher Education. A minimum of 130 semester credit hours is required for a major in IECE. Requirements include 18 semester credit hours of Professional Education courses (EDU 202, 203, and 464); 8 semester credit hours of related studies courses (FNU 203, ENG 260, and SOW 430); 3 semester credit hours of free electives; 33 semester credit hours in Child Development/Family Relations courses (CDF 101, 102, 203, 204, 206, 305, 315, 318, 409, 420 and 421); and 15 semester credit hours in education and special education (EDU 310, 311, 316, 318, and 404).

A minimum of 125 semester credit hours is required to earn a degree in Elementary Education. Students must complete all Liberal Studies requirements; earn a “C” or above in 28 hours of additional content courses; be formally admitted to the TEP; earn a “C” or above in all Professional Education courses (32 hours); successfully complete PRAXIS II and PLT tests before being formally admitted to Supervised Teaching; earn a “C” or above in Supervised Teaching (12 hours).

Because elementary teachers instruct in several content areas, courses required for Elementary Education majors offer students a breadth and depth of content knowledge and skills in English, mathematics, science, and social studies that go beyond the Liberal Studies courses. These courses (28 hours) allow some flexibility for both students and content area faculties to adjust to students' interests and skills, as well as to the changing needs of elementary schools. The required courses are: applied human sciences (FNU 203); fine arts (ART 101 and MUE 333); humanities (ENG 260, ENG 285, and HIS 201); mathematics (MAT 203 and 304); science (PHS 202); and HED 221.

Once admitted to the TEP, teacher candidates may enroll in upper level Professional Education courses. Professional Education courses (44 hours) are designed to provide teacher candidates with the pedagogical knowledge and skills they will need to teach children effectively in the content areas. Required Professional Education courses for Elementary Education majors follow: EDU 202, 203, 302, 303, 304, 310, 405, 407, 408, 415, and 423. During their last semester of coursework, teacher candidates may apply for formal admission to Supervised Teaching (EDU 474) by meeting the criteria specified in the section of this Catalogue entitled Admission to Supervised Teaching. To earn a BA in Elementary Education, supervised teachers must demonstrate competence on each of Kentucky's New Teacher Standards and successfully complete the relevant PRAXIS II and PLT tests.
