Adolescence/Young Adult (7-12 Licensure) Program
Advising sheets for all majors are available on the Vacca Office of Student Services’ Web site at http://www.ehhs.kent.edu/OSS/. All education majors and minors are expected to meet with an education faculty advisor. These curricula lead to the Ohio Provisional License in Adolescence/Young Adult Education in a specific area valid for teaching in grades seven through 12.
Majors (B.S.E.):
Earth Science
Integrated Language Arts
Integrated Mathematics
Integrated Science
Integrated Social Studies
Life Science
Life Science/Chemistry
Physical Science
Students seeking admission to this program must meet all professional requirements for admission to advanced study. To be admitted to the program, students must display evidence of adequate communication skills; sound content area knowledge (language arts, mathematics, science or social studies); a basic understanding of the teaching profession; a basic understanding of adolescents; and dispositions aligned with the conceptual framework of the College of Education, Health, and Human Services, including being open-minded, flexible, caring and responsible. Faculty will select the most qualified applicants based on an interview; essay; letters of recommendation; GPA; Praxis I scores; and performance in English and communication studies coursework. Applicants to the ADED program must have experience working with young adults in a supervisory capacity, such as tutoring, camp counseling, volunteer work or related experience. Students should contact the College of Education, Health, and Human Services’ Vacca Office of Student Services, 304 White Hall, during the first year of study to inquire about the procedures and criteria associated with admission to the adolescence/young adult education program.
Student teaching is offered only during spring semester. Students must work closely with their faculty advisors to position themselves for spring student teaching and to plan proper course sequencing. Students must apply for student teaching a year and a half in advance.
