Freshmen and transfer students entering Roanoke College

major in a liberal arts discipline (any major except business

administration) as required by the Virginia State Board of

Education for elementary licensure. Secondary education

licensure is acquired through a major in the appropriate

subject.

The College has selective admission policies and practices for

the Teacher Education Program, including the minors in

education. Admission into the education licensure

program is defined as a student's initial entry into a

field-based course experience (EDUC 338, EDUC 340,

EDUC 402/404). Students seeking teacher licensure

may take all other education courses but may not

complete placement paperwork for any field-based

course until Praxis I is successfully achieved, required

grade point average(s) achieved, and background

screening completed. Prior to formal admission to the

program, the student must successfully complete Praxis I of

the National Teacher Examination (NTE).The student must

meet minimum passing scores on these tests as set by the

Virginia Board of Education. Admission to the internship

(EDUC 338) and Diagnostic Reading (EDUC 340) requires

a 2.5 overall average. Required at the time of application for

student teaching is a 2.5 overall grade point average, a 2.5

average in the student's major and/or teaching endorsement

area, and a 2.5 overall average in education and psychology

courses applicable to licensure. GPA requirements of 2.5 for

the Education 338 (Field-based Internship), Education 340

(Diagnostic Reading), and Education 402-404 (Student

Teaching) refer to the grade point average earned at Roanoke

College. ONLY the 2.5 overall minimum GPA earned at

Roanoke College will be considered for Education 338 and

Education 340. In exceptional circumstances, the minimum

2.5GPA requirement for student teaching (overall, major, and

education/psychology licensure courses) may include

consideration of course credit earned at all other

colleges/universities if it in no way compromises the intent of

the minimum standard. A formal written appeal with

justification for the consideration of this possibility must be

presented to the chair of the department of Education, Health

and Human Performance.

In accordance with state requirements, an applicant must

possess the physical and mental health necessary for the tasks

to be performed. In addition, the student should demonstrate

good moral character.Violation of the Roanoke College

academic integrity regulations or of judicial rules and

regulations, as well as convictions of any felony or any

misdemeanor laws involving moral turpitude, may be taken as

evidence of lack of fitness for admission or for

recommendation for licensure. Evidence must be available

from appropriate College officials verifying that this standard

has been met. The above described standards for admission to

the program must be maintained, or the student may be

dropped from the program. Admission to student teaching

requires two recommendations from full-time faculty

members (one of these must be from the student's

department) and possession of a grade point average of 2.5

overall as well as in the major and/or teaching endorsement

area and in all education and psychology courses applicable to

licensure. All non-degree-seeking students must meet the

same standards. All non-degree-seeking students must have

earned a minimum of four units of credit approved by the

Education department at Roanoke College prior to

placement in student teaching. Standards for admission to the

Teacher Education Program must be maintained during the

period of student teaching. All tests (Praxis I and Praxis II

specialty tests) of the National Teacher Examination required

by the Virginia Department of Education for licensure must

be successfully completed and scores furnished to the

Registrar's Office before the College recommendation for

licensure can be given.

Students seeking added endorsements for teacher licensure

will be required to extend their student teaching beyond the

regular term. A minimum of 18 weeks of student teaching

will be required if additional endorsements are sought.

Specific endorsement areas and the required number of weeks

of student teaching (noted parenthetically) are listed below:

PK-6 and Secondary subject areas:

PK-6 , (Eight), Secondary subject area (Eight)

PK-12 Art, Music or Physical Education and PK-6:

PK-6 , (Six), Subject area PK-6 (Six), Subject area 6-12 (Six)

All other endorsement areas can be met through the

regular term of student teaching.

Candidates for student teaching are required to make

application in writing in the semester preceding the one in

which student teaching is to be taken. March 1st and October

1st have been designated as the closing dates for such

applications. Application must also be made in writing to

enroll in EDUC 338, and EDUC 340. October 15th and

March 15th are the closing dates for these applications.

Appropriate forms for making application will be supplied

upon request in the Education, Health and Human

Performance department office. Students wishing to do a field

placement (EDUC 338, EDUC 340, or EDUC 402/404)

during the Fall semester must have met all GPA and Praxis I

requirements by June 1st. Students wishing to do a field

placement (EDUC 338, EDUC 340, or EDUC 402/404)

during the Spring semester must have met all GPA and Praxis

I requirements by December 15th.

Completion of the education licensure program is

defined as a student's passage of the appropriate

Praxis II examination, successful completion of

student teaching, and fulfillment of all course

requirements as outlined on the Teacher Licensure

Application form. No college recommendation for

teacher licensure will be given until requirements are

met. During the term of student teaching, students

may enroll in no more than one course in addition to

student teaching. Students should take Praxis II in

their specialty area the semester prior to student

teaching.

Note: Personal transportation must be provided by the student for all

field experiences related to class work and student teaching.

Placements will be in Roanoke City, Roanoke County, Salem City,

and certain nearby Botetourt County and Montgomery County

schools. Specific school placements cannot be assured.

Title II Reporting-Academic Year 2001-2002

As required by Sections 207 and 208 of Title II Higher

Education Act, all colleges and universities with teacher

licensure programs must report the performance of program

completers on Praxis tests.

During the 2001-2002 academic year, there were 33 program

completers in the teacher preparation program at Roanoke

College. All 33 program completers passed Praxis I in

reading, writing, and mathematics or met the composite

score. Praxis II subject area test pass rates are not reported

due to less than 10 students taking each of the subject area

tests during 2001-2002. There were 50 students formally

admitted into the teacher preparation program. Thirty-four

(34) students were enrolled in student teaching clinicals.

Supervising 4 or 5 student teachers counts the same as

teaching one class; therefore, the ratio is 4 or 5 to 1. Students

were in supervised clinical student teaching experiences for

13 weeks averaging 35 hours per week for a minimum of 400

required hours.

Education-related course requirements are:

PK-6 (Elementary Education)

Education 210, 211, 221, 333, 334, 335, 336, 338, 340, 342,

404 (two units); Psychology 215; Geography 101 or

Geography 110; History 175.

6-12 (Secondary) and PK-12

(Art, Music, and Physical Education)

Education 210, 221, (except physical education), 324 (except

music, physical education, foreign languages), 338, 341, 342,

402-404 (for Art, Music, and Physical Education) or 402 A&B

(for all other secondary endorsements); Psychology 215.Art,

music, physical education, and foreign language majors take

appropriate methods courses within their departments.Art

majors also must take Education 324 and also Art 240 at

Hollins University.

(Psychology 215 will be required of all students seeking

teacher licensure. Students may substitute Psychology

210/211 for Psychology 215 or take Psychology 210/215 or

Psychology 211/215.) For those students seeking secondary

licensure, consultation with education faculty and a major

advisor is necessary since requirements for licensure often

differ from major requirements. Many secondary subjects

require courses other than major courses for teacher licensure.

Guidance in the first year in the selection of both General

Education and elective courses is strongly advised. A second

advisor from the Education faculty is required for all students

seeking teacher licensure.

Education 210 is a prerequisite for all courses in the

department. For teacher licensure, Honors courses will count

in the same manner for General Education courses or major

courses as in the Honors program. For specific information

consult with a major advisor.

Minor in Elementary Education PK-6

A minor in elementary education PK-6 requires seven

units, including Education 210, 221, 333, 334 335, 336, 338

and 342. NOTE: Completion of a minor in Elementary

Education does not meet all requirements for elementary teacher

licensure.A 2.5 GPA and successful Praxis I test scores, as previously

outlined, are required for granting the minor.

Minor in Secondary Education

A minor in secondary education requires six units, including

Education 210, 221, 324, 338, 341, 342; and Psychology 215.

215. NOTE: Completion of a minor in Secondary Education does

not meet all requirements for secondary teacher licensure.A 2.5 GPA

and successful Praxis I test scores, as previously outlined, are required

for granting the minor.
