Professionalism

The goal of Trevecca's Teacher Education Program is to prepare quality classroom teachers both in the academic and in the professional arena. It is expected that all program completers will demonstrate a commitment to students and to the teaching profession.  Development as a professional educator includes, embracing a professional Code of Ethics like that of the National Education Association’s.  In addition, professionalism includes participation in a professional organization. Trevecca Nazarene University hosts a student chapter of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.  Many activities and opportunities are offered on a monthly basis to the members of Trevecca’s ASCD.


Programs of Study

Teacher Education administers undergraduate programs designed for the preparation of teachers. Persons may seek a BS in Elementary Education (Grades K-6), and a BA or BS in secondary subject area(s) licensure (English, History, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Physics, Speech Communications, Business, Special Education, and Theatre).  The Professional Elementary and Professional Secondary minors are offered to meet requirements for state licensure and University graduation.

 

The BA or BS in Education is designed for the preparation of teachers, and those who major in Elementary Education will be eligible to apply for licensure to teach grades K-6. Students who major in English, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, History, Physics,  or Speech Communications will have that specialization noted on their license and will be eligible to apply for licensure to teach grades 7-12. Students who major in Vocal Music, Physical Education, Special Education, or Theatre will have that specialization noted on their license and will be eligible to apply for licensure to teach grades K-12.

 

Teacher Education also administers non-licensure programs. Persons who are not seeking licensure but wish to complete a non-teaching degree in elementary or secondary education may earn non-licensure minors in Early Grades Education, Middle Grades Education, and Secondary Grades Education. In addition to the above, the AS in Child Care is a non-licensure program designed to prepare a student for a career as a child care administrator or worker in a child care center. Non-licensure candidates are required to set an appointment with the Director of Teacher Education and sign a memorandum of understanding.
