Special Education Dual Certification
The Teacher Education Program offers Cross Categorical Special Education (K-12) with two certification tracks: 1) Special Education/Elementary Education and 2) Special Education/Secondary Education. The program
focuses on research-based models, including effective strategies and interventions to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of all students.
Emphasis in Dual Certification:
English as a Second Language Dual Licensure Program
The English as a Second Language (ESL) undergraduate program at Carroll University is an emphasis that can be added to an Elementary Education major or a Secondary Education major. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this emphasis and are endorsed for an initial teaching license through their grades K-9 (Elementary) or grades 4-12 (Secondary) program will be endorsed for the English as a Second Language #1395 as an additional license.
The ESL program is 20 credits in coursework and 7 credits in clinical experiences; of these 27 credits, candidates already complete 6 credits of this coursework and 7 credits of clinical experiences in their Elementary or Secondary Education major. Therefore, to complete the ESL program and be eligible for this additional license through the WI-DPI, students complete an additional 14 credits of coursework in addition to their Education major.
The following courses in the Elementary Education and Secondary Education majors apply to the ESL emphasis:
Students complete the following coursework for the ESL emphasis:
NOTES:
*EDU 335 replaces the requirement for completing EDU 360 Teaching and Learning with English Language Learners (2 credits) in the Elementary Education or Secondary Education program
**Elementary Education majors adding the ESL emphasis complete EDU 422 as their second student teaching course rather than completing EDU 420; Secondary Education majors adding the ESL emphasis will complete EDU 422 as their second student teaching course rather than completing EDU 410
In order to successfully meet the standards for the English as a Second Language program and be eligible for licensure, students must meet the following requirements in addition to successfully completing the required coursework:
- Students meet the content knowledge assessment by earning a 3.0 in the coursework or passing the Praxis II exam in this content area
- Students do not have to complete Praxis II exam if they earn a 3.0 in the ESL coursework
- Students must earn a C or better in each of the ESL courses
