Teacher Education

At Eureka College, prospective teacher candidates study a core curriculum of liberal arts in conjunction with a major field of study, and their potential is realized not only by the accumulation of knowledge, but by challenging experiences in the field and in cocurricular activities. Those entering the Teacher Education Program must display distinctive qualities of intellect and character as demonstrated through competencies in five key areas that embody the eleven Professional Teaching Standards established by the Illinois State Teacher Certification Board:

Professionalism

Classroom Management

Content Knowledge

Teaching Strategies

Technology Literacy

In Illinois, teacher education programs are subject to accreditation standards established by the State Teacher Certification Board. Eureka College is approved to offer programs leading to teacher certification in:

Elementary Education (grades K-9)

English (grades 6-12)

Mathematics (grades 6-12)

Physical Education (grades K-12)

Science (grades 6-12) designations in Biology, Chemistry, or Environmental Science

Social Science (grades 6-12) designations in History, Psychology, or Sociology & Anthropology

Special Education LBSI (P-21)

Vocal Music (grades K-12)

Middle school endorsement is available for secondary education majors and is mandatory for elementary education, music education, and physical education majors. (Please refer to the Middle School Endorsement portion in this section of the catalog for additional information.)

The Eureka College Teacher Education Program is designed conceptually, building knowledge and experience from 100-level courses through 400-level courses. Therefore, teacher candidates should progress through the program sequentially.

Program Admission – Students must satisfactorily complete the following entry requirements before admission to the program will be granted. Students must be admitted to the Teacher Education Program to participate in the EDU 300 level field experiences and student teaching.

Pass the ICTS Basic Skills Test.

Obtain a grade of “C” or better in the following courses (or equivalent courses):

ENG 103W English Composition I

EDU 185W Foundations of American Education

EDU 227 Educational Psychology

Grade of “P” (Pass) in EDU 228 Educational Psychology Field Experience.

Obtain two recommendations from faculty members outside the Teacher Education Program.

Obtain recommendations from the Dean of Student Programs and Services and the EDU 228 Field Experience Supervisor. The recommendation from the EDU 228 Field Experience Supervisor is done internally.

Obtain an overall GPA of 2.50 or better.

Pass initial Portfolio Review on Professionalism – Student’s Philosophy of Education.

Apply for Admission to the Teacher Education Program.

“Pass” Disposition Review.

“Pass” Candidate Presentation for program admission.

Receive approval from the Teacher Education Committee.

NOTE: Formal application materials may be obtained from Teacher Education Program personnel.

Selection and Continuance – Each teacher candidate is responsible for having a knowledge of and following all regulations and procedures stipulated in the Teacher Education Admission Handbook and the Students’ Responsibilities and Rights Handbook, various field experience handbooks, both student teaching handbooks, the Eureka College Catalog and the Eureka College Student Handbook. Continuance in the Teacher Education Program is based on a candidate’s GPA and dispositions. A check of each candidate’s dispositions is conducted at the time of admission to the program and reviewed yearly after admission. A Disposition Review may be initiated and conducted by College faculty at any time. Reviews of the program may also result in changes and will be announced as they occur.

Students who plan to teach must understand that preparation for teaching consists of more than satisfactory completion of a sequence of courses. Teaching requires above average scholarship but also good character and sound mental health. Teacher Education personnel, therefore, reserve the right:

- to grant admission to any course or permission to continue a sequence of courses leading to certification;

- to make recommendations for certification by entitlement;

- to require that students take aptitude, achievement, and health examinations;

- to use information from these and other sources in making decisions and recommendations about admission and continuance.

Field Experiences

Prior to student teaching, a number of field experiences (EDU 300 series) in the public schools are provided as an essential part of the Teacher Education Program. These field experiences include placements in primary, middle, and high school settings, and with populations that include students with exceptionalities and of different ethnic, racial, gender, language, religious, socioeconomic, and regional/geographic origins. No more than two field experiences may be taken by the student during any given semester. The student must receive approval from the Coordinator of Field Experiences if the student wishes to take more than one field experience during any given semester. Eureka College teacher candidates must conduct themselves professionally and ethically. They are responsible for their own transportation to the field experience.

Student Teaching

Application to student teaching is made during the junior year. No final placement will be made until the teacher candidate has passed the content area test(s) for his/her major. Requirements for student teaching are:

Completion of all Content Area and General Education courses

Overall GPA of 2.50 or better

Major field GPA of 2.75 or better

Pass all ICTS Subject Matter Knowledge Test(s) for major

Final Portfolio Review

Professionalism – Candidate’s Philosophy of Education

Classroom Management – Candidate’s Philosophy of Classroom Management

Content Knowledge – Topic Dependent On Major

Teaching Strategies – Strategies of Teaching

Teacher candidates are also responsible for their own housing and meals when the College is closed. Dormitory arrangements can be made through the Student Programs & Services Office for these occasions.

Transfer Credit

Application of transfer credit toward Eureka College Teacher Education requirements is subject to review by the Teacher Education Program. All grades in transfer courses must be a “C” or above. Transfer students are subject to all Teacher Education Program requirements. Transfer students should make an appointment with the Teacher Education Assessment Coordinator and Transfer Advisor to plan the application process.

English

The English major rests upon literature as its foundation – national and international texts, in English and in translation, by recognized and less known authors – and enables students to gain insight into the complexity of the human condition through reflective study and appreciation of this literature. In addition, writing is at the core of the English program, for writing, in its many forms, is the suitable expression of the English student’s learning, integration of knowledge, and creativity. The following English courses enrich the student of the liberal arts by offering an awareness of literature in its historical, social, and intellectual contexts as well as the study and practice of writing in its diverse forms. The English major offers both a literature and a writing track.

Mathematics

Mathematics, more than any other human endeavor, relies on deductive reasoning to produce new knowledge from the investigation of natural events, whether they occur in our immediate environment or in the immensity of space. It serves as a universal language which represents, interprets, and integrates all such knowledge. The subject of mathematics is divided into algebra, geometry, analysis, and probability. Some of the concepts of each of these subdivisions are particularly useful in helping to discuss or solve problems in other fields. These concepts are frequently called Applied Mathematics.
