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.
