Once upon a time

It was known, in those simpler days, as…
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM!
But time passed…

The course you are sleeping, I mean sitting in now is part of
the Early Childhood programs
If you want to teach Middle or High SchoolThe program you should be considering is:
1 OF THE 4 ADOLESCENCE EDUCATION OPTIONS
These programs are liberal arts transfer programs with St. Joseph’s College.
The Early Childhood classes WON’T count toward these programsnor possibly at St. Joe’s.
EDU101 may be relevant and helpful in some limited ways.The other Early Childhood courses would not be very relevant.
The prerequisites for admission into these programs are:ENG101 and a math or science course as specified in the catalogwith a combined GPA in those courses of 3.0 or better.
If you want to teach Elementary School*The NYS Elementary Education License is Grades 1 to 6*
The program you should be considering,particularly if you’re interested in the older grades,
is:
THE CHILD STUDY PROGRAM
This program is also a liberal arts transfer program with St. Joseph’s.
The Early Childhood classes will NOT count toward this program,and possibly not be accepted at St. Joe’s.
But…
Students in the Child Study programare sometimes advised to take an Early Childhood class or twoas extra electives anyway.
WHY?
1. They might not know yet what age group most appeals to them or has an opening in the school district they will end up teaching in.
2. To be qualified to eventually teach pre-k and kindergartenthe EARLY CHILDHOOD teaching license (*Birth to Grade 2*) is required.The Early Childhood courses, particularly the curriculum courses,would help the elementary education student obtain that second license. 3. It’s the only way to take an education course early to see if teaching is for them.
4. First, second and third grade children are still in Early Childhood.Too many teachers don’t understand the developmental needs of these ages.Without our Early Childhood courses, Child Study students might be among them.
If you think the Child Study program is the right one for you
The prerequisites for this program are:
ENG 101
PSY 101
a math or laboratory science
with a combined GPA of 3.0
And you will have to decide if it is in your interest to continue in this Early Childhood course.
And now we get…
To the Early Childhood programs!
As of Fall, 2011
There are TWO Early Childhood programs:
A program for those who plan to go straight into the field:
EACH/AAS
And a program for those who plan on transferring
to a four year college to earn NYS teacher certification:
ECAS/AS
For those of you who want to (work in):
Day CareNursery School
Head StartAs an Assistant in Public School Pre-K, Kindergarten or Special Ed.
Open Your Own Home Child Care Program
The EACH/AAS “terminal” program
is the right one for you.
It is essentially a continuation of what Suffolk has always offered…
with a few minor changes
The required courses for EACH/AAS
EDU101: Foundations of Early Childhood Education
EDU102: Curriculum for the Young Child I (new course)
EDU103: Curriculum for the Young Child II (new course)
EDU113: Infants and Toddlers: Programs and Care (new requirement)
EDU211: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar I
EDU221: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar II
PSY201: Introduction to Psychology
PSY203: Child Psychology (new course)(replaces PSY214: Child and Adolescent Psychology, which you will get credit for if already taken)
PSY213: The Exceptional Child (new requirement)
The other requirements for completion of the EACH/AAS degree are:
A College SeminarENG101: Standard Freshman Composition An English electiveCOM101: Introduction to Human CommunicationSOC101: Introduction to SociologySOC203: Marriage and the FamilyA combination of 2 Math or Lab Science electivesHSC101: Health Concepts or HSC112: Safety, First Aid and CPRHSC114: Group DynamicsTwo Physical Education electivesTwo Unrestricted electives
There are no prerequisites to enter this program.But students must get a C or better in all Early Childhood classes.
Now IF…you have already taken
one or more of the old requirements that are no longer offeredEDU111, EDU115, EDU 202, EDU215
You can substitute each for one of the 4 new requirementsEDU102, EDU103, EDU113, PSY213
and do not have to take them
(NOTE: THIS IS ONLY TRUE IN THE EACH/AAS PROGRAM!)
Now to the brand (well, relatively) new ECAS/AS program!
The ECAS/AS program isa transfer program
for those planning on going on to a four year college,usually to pursue NYS teacher certification
in Early Childhood Educationand become a public school pre-k to grade 2 teacher
The colleges with which the ECAS/AS has an articulation agreement are
Dowling and LIU (Riverhead),not St. Joseph’s.
For the ECAS/AS transfer programthe required courses are:
EDU101: Foundations of Early Childhood EducationEDU102: Curriculum for the Young Child IEDU103: Curriculum for the Young Child IIEDU211: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar I EDU221: Early Childhood Practicum and Seminar II
but not EDU113 Infants and Toddlers: Programs and Care
PSY201: Introduction to Psychology PSY203: Child PsychologyPSY213: The Exceptional Child
There are no substitutions, so some students may have to take a coursesimilar to one they’ve already taken during this transition. It’s contractual,
sorry.The only exception is PSY214 for PSY203, since PSY214 was in the contract. The other requirements for completion of the ECAS/AS degree are:
A College Seminar
ENG101: Standard Freshman Composition
ENG102: Introduction to Literature
2 Semesters of a Foreign Language elective (ASL doesn’t count)
A Math elective
A Lab Science elective
An Art or Music elective
An American History elective
An Other World Civilizations elective
A Social Science restricted elective
2 Physical Education electives
1 Unrestricted elective
The Prerequisites for this program are:
PSY101, ENG101 and a Math or Lab Science elective
with a combined GPA of 2.80 or better
and a C or better in each Early Childhood class
For Either Early Childhood Program:The Fieldwork course is a year-long course (EDU 201 in the Fall, EDU 211 in the Spring).Hence, it only starts in the Fall,
so most of you who continue in Early Childhood will take it next year.It’s not N.Y.S. sanctioned student teaching
but it’s excellent, hands-on, supervised practice (one half-day a week in the Fall, one full day or two half-days in the Spring)However, in order for you to be eligible to take it
you must have completed both EDU 101AND
at least one of the curriculum courses, EDU 102 and/or EDU 103 (preferably both) this year.So
if you’re not taking either EDU 102 or EDU 103 now (preferably 102) you must register for at least one of them (again, preferably both) next semester.You can take the other one along with the first semester of fieldwork
if necessary.
