Center for Teacher Education - Catalog

Education is one of the nation's fastest growing career fields. Students are reminded that education is an upper-level major in Arizona's public universities and that admission is increasingly competitive and is dependent upon a variety of factors, such as grade point average and pre-professional expe­rience. It is therefore imperative that students plan their course of study with the assistance of an academic advisor.

The Associate of Arts degree in Elementary Education meets all curricular requirements for junior standing in the col­lege of education at all Arizona state universities. In addition to providing a seamless transfer pathway, the degree gives the stu­dent the practical and theoretical basis necessary for making an informed choice of education as a career, a career which prom­ises almost unlimited employment opportunities. Students are reminded that successful completion of the degree does not guarantee admission to a university college of education. Additional criteria, such as grade point average, community service, leadership activities and prior classroom experience (e.g. volunteer tutoring), may also be used by a college of edu­cation in making admission decisions.

The Teacher Aide Preparatory Skills Program is designed to prepare students with academic deficiencies, as identified by the Cochise College placement test, to enter the Teacher Aide Certificate Program sequence, while enhancing those academic skills essential to the role of the teacher aide.

The Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Care and Education provides for the continuing education of early child­hood education professionals beyond the certificate level. It offers in-depth theoretical child development information, practical applications in the workplace, and comprehensive understanding for work with children and families.

The Basic Certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education is designed for persons already employed in giving care and education to young children. The content parallels the areas of competency required for those preparing for the CDA exam, which sets entry-level standards in the field nationally.
