Early Childhood Education – Unified

The undergraduate curriculum in Early Childhood Education – Unified leads to the Bachelor of Science Degree. See curriculum.

The curriculum in Early Childhood Education – Unified is planned for students preparing to teach young children and work with their families. This program leads to careers in working with young children (both those who are typically developing and those with special needs) from birth through age eight. Graduates in this curriculum may teach in early childhood (preschool and primary) classrooms or home based programs, with emphasis on inclusive services. Graduates may be employed by either public or private agencies or schools. This curriculum has been approved by the Iowa Department of Education and meets requirements for the early childhood education – unified teacher license. The program is an interdepartmental major administered by School of Education and the Department of Human Development and Family Studies within the College of Human Sciences.

Early childhood education – unified majors must satisfy a world languages requirement for graduation.

Students who enroll in early childhood education – unified must apply to and be accepted into the teacher education program prior to enrolling in advanced courses. All early childhood education – unified students, including those seeking a double major, must meet general education requirements for teacher licensure. Iowa State University is in compliance with the Iowa Department of Education’s mandate for a performance-based system of teacher training. The State of Iowa has developed and implemented a competency system to evaluate the performance of all teachers. A detailed list of the twelve Iowa State University Teacher Education Standards and the eight State of Iowa Teaching Standards, along with other information about the University Teacher Education Program, can be found at http://www.education.iastate.edu / , the teacher education website. Additional information is also available from the student’s academic adviser. Students in early childhood education – unified must meet the performance outcome standards for teacher licensure. Standards are assessed in coursework through artifacts such as assignments, projects, or practicum participation. These standards assessments are based on the early childhood content standards for endorsement 100 in the State of Iowa. These include competencies in (1) child growth, development, and learning, (2) developmentally appropriate learning environment and curriculum implementation, (3) health, safety, and nutrition, (4) family and community collaboration, and (5) professionalism. Pre-student teaching field experiences and student teaching experiences in at least two different settings is required. Students will receive both formative and summative evaluations of their progress toward meeting these outcomes throughout their program at Iowa State University

Elementary Education
