*The Introduction to Special Education (EDTR 107) course required at CCBC is a necessary requirement of the College's A.A.T. in Elementary/Elementary Special Education degree but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course requirements for four-year education programs. Students may be required to take additional special education or inclusion courses as a part of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and teacher education certification at four-year institutions.
**In place of Praxis I, Maryland will accept the following options from candidates:
-
SAT taken after 2005: math and critical reading composite score of 1100.
-
SAT taken between April, 1995, and 2005: math and verbal composite score of 1100.
-
SAT taken prior to April, 1995,: math and verbal composite score of 1000.
-
ACT composite score of 24.
-
GRE math and verbal composite score of 1000.
No course substitutions or course waivers are given in the A.A.T. degree.
~ The previously approved Elementary A.A.T. will now prepare students to transfer to a Maryland institution to major in Elementary Education and/or Generic Special Education Pre K-12.
Program Description:
The A.A.T. degree is the transfer option for students in elementary teacher education major. This degree guarantees a seamless transfer to Maryland four-year public and most private institutions in the teacher education majors. Students should note the differences between the A.A. and the A.A.T. degrees, especially the requirements of successful passage of the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests and the minimum 2.75 GPA.
Teacher Education majors are strongly encouraged to take the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests upon completion of the pre-professional education requirements and are required to register for PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests prior to participating in EDTR 273: Field-Based Experience. A passing score on PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests is required in order to earn the A.A.T. degree. All students who wish to pursue the A.A.T. degree must see the CCBC Teacher Education director or their campus coordinator before registering for classes.
Elementary Education includes grades 1-6.
Elementary Education/Generic Special Education includes Pre K-12.
