Program Description:
This degree is provided for students who changed their major from another program or degree option where they earned 35 or more credits. It does not transfer seamlessly to Maryland four-year institutions offering Teacher Education programs. Students pursuing the A.A. degree option must meet with the CCBC Teacher Education Director or their campus coordinator before registering for classes.
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* (see exceptions below) prior to participating in EDTR 273: Field-Based Experience. Passing the PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests is a requirement for acceptance into most colleges of education. It also is required for Maryland State teacher certification. CCBC offers PRAXIS I Series Core Battery Tests prep courses to help prepare students for the tests.
*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.
Secondary Education in Maryland includes grades 7-12.
