Overview

The Elementary Education program at Valdosta State University is designed to prepare professional educators who manifest the knowledge, dispositions, and competencies necessary to enhance P-5 students’ overall intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and personal growth and development. The design of the program includes a variety of methods and content courses in which hands-on activities are included. These courses are supported by structured field experiences designed to provide opportunities to meld theory with practice in field-based interactions with P-5 students in general education and inclusive settings.

Program graduates are to demonstrate the following: an acceptable level of content knowledge by having passed the state-required content and performance-based assessments; an acceptable level of teaching competency for an extended period of time during the clinical practice experience by planning, delivering, and assessing appropriate instruction for students who represent a diverse population and who are in public school settings; integration of technology into instruction, assessment, and communication; pedagogical content knowledge and knowledge of evidence-based strategies by having developed unit and lesson plans, identifying use of research-validated procedures, and demonstrating effective content pedagogy; skills in assessment, implementation of instructional strategies, use of technology, and monitoring and modifying instruction during observed teaching episodes evaluated by a university supervisor and P-5 mentor teacher; characteristics of reflective practitioners by evaluating the effects of choices and actions on others (students, families, and other professionals in the learning community); and the ability to positively impact P-5 learning.
