The School of Education offers full-time and part-time, four-year and five-year programs that integrate academic and professional studies and lead to certification in secondary education, secondary and special education, elementary education, elementary and special education, or elementary and early childhood education. Each program requires the creation of an electronic portfolio throughout the course of study; it is to be completed with each course of study. An ePortfolio license fee is required.

All B.A. programs in education are designed to provide a balance among liberal arts courses in a variety of academic fields, a planned sequence of professional courses, and practical field experiences which may begin in the first year of college and which culminate in an extended internship experience in the senior year. The School of Education may require a student to take specific courses in addition to those listed as requirements. Each program aims to build competence through appropriate academic and professional course work, and to involve the student in practical classroom internship activities of steadily increasing responsibility. Internship placements are in professional development school environments through collaborative arrangements between Notre Dame and area school systems.

Graduates of the School of Education are educators in virtually every public school district throughout the State of Maryland, as well as in many private, independent and parochial schools. Not only do they ably serve Maryland's students, they are recognized as outstanding leaders. Many have been honored as "Teacher of the Year" in their respective districts; e.g, Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Caroline County, Carroll County, Harford County, St. Mary's County.

To schedule course work effectively, each student is expected to meet regularly each semester with her advisor. Upon declaring a major, the student also must complete the Application for Teacher Education through the School of Education.

To be eligible for the extended teaching internship in a professional development school, a student must attain a 3.2 cumulative grade point average, a 3.0 or higher in methods courses, and a grade of C or higher in each of her professional courses. Students must pass PRAXIS Core* prior to enrolling in methods courses. Students in secondary education, art and music education also must have the recommendation of their academic departments. To be eligible for Maryland state certification through one of the approved programs at the University, the student must attain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average, must earn a grade of B or higher during the internship and pass PRAXIS Core Academic Skills* and PRAXIS II examinations. PRAXIS Core* must be passed prior to enrolling in methods courses; PRAXIS II must be taken during the internship semester and passed before approval for certification.

Note: Taking and passing PRAXIS Core: Any student who is actively considering making application to the School of Education to pursue a career in teaching is required to pass the PRAXIS Core exam as a condition of admission to the School of Education. Students should take the PRAXIS Core as early as possible during their college experience so that they have time to assess and (if need be) remediate any area of concern (reading, writing or mathematics). Participation in methods courses and the student internship will not be permitted until the PRAXIS Core has been passed. There are a variety of resources available for students who perceive the need for additional support: e.g, texts in the Education Lab, on-line tutorials, PRAXIS prep seminars, etc. For more information regarding testing opportunities and preparation, consult www.ETS.org.

*In place of PRAXIS Core, Maryland will accept the following options:

  • SAT taken after 2005, combined math and critical reading scores of 1100;
  • SAT taken between 4/95 and 2005, math and verbal composite score of 1100;
  • SAT taken prior to 4/95, math and verbal score of 1000;
  • ACT composite score of 24

Certification candidates in all programs complete a professional electronic portfolio using guidelines developed by the education department in accordance with Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) Core Standards. Approved program graduates benefit from interstate reciprocity agreements in all states.

Teacher education programs are offered in elementary education, elementary and special education, elementary and early childhood education, art N-12, and vocal music N-12. Notre Dame also offers secondary education programs in art, biology, business, chemistry, computer studies, English, ESOL, history, mathematics, modern foreign languages (French, Spanish)**, physics and social studies.

** Due to the fact that NDMU’s world languages program is nationally recognized by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL),teacher candidates who are seeking certification in Maryland for Spanish or French are required to achieve a passing score of “Advanced Low” or better on BOTH the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and the Written Proficiency Test (WPT), both of which are administered by an interviewer/proctor who is certified by ACTFL.  Note that some teacher candidates in lieu of the OPI may elect to take the OPI(c) which is a computer version of the OPI. Teacher candidates may take these two assessments at any time during their program of study but prior to their methods course of study.  Teacher candidates are encouraged to explore opportunities that will enable them to meet the “Advanced Low” standard/score, including participation in study abroad, volunteer and service learning opportunities, language clubs, and film festivals and by viewing films and television programs in the world language they will be studying.  More information about these assessments can be found at www.languagetesting.com

Students should confer with their School of Education advisor to confirm that they have completed all the requirements for the MSDE approved program(s) as well as the Notre Dame's degree requirements.

Pathways to Dual, Triple or Four Certifications

The NDMU School of Education strives to prepare teacher candidates to respond to the supply and demand of the teacher education workforce and endeavors to prepare candidates who are highly skilled and equipped to teach children regardless of learning style, differentiated or special needs, and racial or socio-economic status. As such, candidates are encouraged to pursue certification in more than one content area or specialization; e.g, certification in biology and special education; or in English and TESOL; or in elementary education and early childhood education. In some cases, candidates can even obtain three or four certifications (e.g, elementary, special education, early childhood education and/or TESOL).

Having more than one certification yields several benefits: 1) Most important of all, candidates are exposed to specific content and instructional strategies that may be unique to targeted individuals or groups of students (e.g, second language generation students whose parents speak only in their native language). 2) Candidates acquire a deeper, richer background in the vast variety of instructional strategies that one might employ, irrespective of the student's classification (e.g, a student in a Gifted and Talented class might respond just as readily to a 'reward and praise' technique as would a student with special needs). 3) Candidates find that, when seeking employment, they are more marketable because principals are afforded greater flexibility in assigning them to teaching positions that fit the needs of their school and student population (e.g, if given two equally qualified candidates from which to select, a principal is more likely to hire a candidate who has more than one certification, thereby giving them more flexibility to assign highly qualified teachers to classrooms based on that certification).

In essence, the teacher candidates enter the education profession with a larger and more diverse toolbox of instructional strategies and content knowledge to better meet the needs of the school system, where employed, and the children whom they are entrusted to teach.

Pathways to obtain dual, triple or even four certifications are outlined in the following tables, based on professional courses needed, content areas, programs and degrees.

Women's College or College of Adult Undergraduate Studies?

Although many degrees and majors are offered through both the Women’s College and the College of Adult Undergraduate Studies (CAUS), there are significant differences in their populations and scheduling. To determine whether the Women’s College or CAUS is the most appropriate for you, see the college descriptions under Academic Information.

Back to top

Option: B.A.

The School of Education offers the Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education/Liberal Studies to students in the Women's College and College of Adult Undergraduate Studies. For students in the Women's College, the School of Education also offers a program of professional courses for certification in secondary education. Additionally, the school offers a sequence of courses in special education and early childhood education that provides the opportunity for elementary education/liberal studies majors to meet certification requirements in special education, early childhood education or ESOL in addition to elementary education. The special education sequence also may be taken by students in a secondary education program. All programs are NCATE accredited and MSDE approved.

Back to top

Elementary Education/Liberal Studies

The elementary education/liberal studies major provides a balanced program of liberal arts courses in a variety of academic fields, a planned sequence of professional courses, and practical field experiences that culminate in an extended teaching internship experience. Completion of the program qualifies graduates for Maryland State Department Certification in elementary education. Each student works closely with an academic advisor to ensure that the student obtains all the credits needed for the degree, as well as the requirements of the State Department of Education for certification in elementary education. All students must complete the Application for Teacher Education through the School of Education prior to methods courses. Women's College students interested in elementary education are encouraged to declare the elementary education/liberal studies major in spring semester of the first year.

For students in CAUS, the practical field experiences, including the teaching internship, are the only parts of the program offered during the day. These must be taken during the academic year when elementary schools are in session. The teaching internship must be completed in the fall semester.

Secondary Education

(Women's College only)

A student seeking to be certified in secondary education (e.g., art, biology, chemistry, English, etc.) must major in one of the academic departments offering a Maryland State Department of Education-approved program in secondary education and take the sequence of professional courses listed in the education program listings. Students interested in secondary education declare the minor after acceptance as majors in their academic disciplines, preferably by the end of sophomore year.

Back to top

Option: BA/MAT

(Women's College only)

This option enables a full-time student to complete the bachelor of arts and master of arts in teaching degrees and to fulfill state certification requirements within four or five years. For the elementary education option, students complete the liberal arts major for their baccalaureate degree and the master of arts in teaching in elementary education in the final year. (See liberal arts program listings for a description of the liberal arts major.)

For the secondary education option, students complete a major in an academic discipline for their bachelor's degree and the master of arts in teaching in the final year.

If a student wishes to pursue the four-year B.A./M.A.T. option, she must meet with the advisor of the School of Education at the time of entrance or before beginning the second semester of the first year to plan her program appropriately. In the five-year option, the student meets with the chair in the second semester of the sophomore year.

Physical Education

Melissa Falen, M.A, Coordinator

The physical education program is an integral part of a liberal arts education. Physical education is designed to encourage the student's knowledge, interest, participation and competence in physical activities. Courses are offered in two areas: theory and skill-based classes. Emphasis is on developing and maintaining comprehensive wellness, including physical fitness and personal well being, by enjoying leisure activities and developing leadership skills through building self-confidence.

Requirements

All physical education courses fulfill the 1-credit general education requirement in physical education. Students may choose either a skill (100-level) or theory (200/300-level) course. Students may take up to 3 credits of physical education toward the 120 graduation credit total. Students may opt to take more than 3 credits of physical education credits as electives that do not count toward the 120 credit minimum.

The general education requirement may be fulfilled through participation on a University varsity athletic team in accordance with University policy. Policy information is available in the physical education office, the athletic department and from the registrar.
