K-12 Education - Option

Program

The K-12 Education Option in Liberal Arts is designed as a transfer program for students interested in Elementary (K-5), Middle School (6-8) and Secondary (9-12) Certification. This option maximizes transfer of credits and academic status to a professional teacher education program. However, the transfer requirements (including Praxis Core) of the four-year college must be satisfied for admittance into that college and its teacher certification program.

For more information, contact department chair, Dr. Beth Sanders-Rabinowitz, at (609) 343-4982 or bsanders@atlanticcape.edu.

Upon completion of this program students will be able to:
  • Articulate a personal philosophy of education; 
  • Describe the historical, philosophical and economic foundations of American education; 
  • Discuss current research and approaches to educational issues, such as classroom management, diversity, the education of students with special needs and the interaction with the community to address those issues; 
  • Identify their personal qualities and strengths as related to becoming a teacher.
