The Reverend Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, has described the goal of Jesuit education with the following words: "We aim to form...men and women of competence, conscience, and compassionate commitment." In recognition of its connection to the Jesuit mission of the Loyola community, the School of Education has adopted the three words, Competence, Conscience, Compassion as the foundation for its conceptual framework.
Mission
Within the Jesuit traditions of intellectual excellence, social justice, ethical responsibility, and cura personalis, the School of Education—which encompasses the department of teacher education—promotes leadership and scholarship in the development of teachers, counselors, administrators, and other educators.
Elementary education majors are prepared for teaching through a program which blends theory with practice. Through field experiences and service-learning courses, education majors obtain experience working with diverse children in urban and suburban school settings. Majors are often placed in a school setting every semester throughout the program of study. The program has been nationally recognized by the Association for Childhood Education International and approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (Elementary Education, Grades 1-6) in partnership with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and includes the Maryland approved reading courses. Students completing the program satisfy course requirements for certification in the state of Maryland and are eligible for certification in the majority of states and U.S. territories through the interstate reciprocity agreement. For more details, please see http://www.nasdtec.net/?page=Interstate.
To enable education majors to respond to the needs of exceptional children within a school environment, courses in special education are required for all majors. Education majors seeking additional study in this area may choose to minor in special education; however, Maryland certification requirements for special education are not completely met by this minor.
A Minor in Urban Education is available to provide students with an overview of the complexities of urban education, historically, socially, politically, economically, and culturally, in the United States. This program of study allows students to consider the unique challenges faced by students and educators in, and the communities surrounding, urban schools. While there is an emphasis on the social, political, and historical impacts on educational systems in large cities in the US, students also study issues to equip them to be social justice thinkers and practitioners in urban, suburban, and/or rural contexts, public or private schools, or beyond schools altogether. The Minor in Urban Education consists of five courses, one required and four electives from a variety of disciplines across campus. Students must complete at least three of the five courses in the School of Education.
A Minor in Secondary Education allows students from other disciplines to complete degree requirements for their major while taking the education courses required for certification. Secondary education certification programs focusing on grades 7-12 are offered in biology, chemistry, earth/space science, English, mathematics, physics, and social studies. Secondary education certification programs focusing on grades PK-12 are offered in art, French, music (both instrumental and vocal), and Spanish.
A combined B.A./B.S.-M.A.T., a five-year program is available for students who wish to be certified in secondary education. Students submit the application to the Office of Graduate Admission by February 1 of their junior year and take three graduate-level courses in their senior year. These programs have been approved by nationally recognized specialty organizations and the Maryland State Department of Education in partnership with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and they include the Maryland approved reading courses.
Consistent with Loyola's emphasis on high quality teacher preparation, elementary education majors and students who choose to complete a secondary education minor are required to: maintain a 2.500 overall average in order to remain in good standing and be eligible for Internship I; complete all required education coursework, including field experience; and achieve a score that meets or exceeds the Maryland composite cutoff on the reading, writing, and mathematics portions of the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators prior to beginning the internship. (Students who intend to teach in Maryland may substitute qualifying scores on the SAT or ACT for Praxis Core scores; contact the Teacher Education department for more information.) In order to complete the requirements for May graduation, elementary education majors are required to provide official scores for the following Praxis II content and pedagogy tests by May 1:
Elementary Education: Instructional Practice and Applications
Principles of Learning and Teaching: Grades K-6
By May 1, secondary education minors are also required to provide official scores to Loyola for the Praxis II content and pedagogy tests related to the certification area in order to complete the requirements for May graduation. In place of Praxis II tests, candidates for certification in French, German, or Spanish are required to provide official scores for the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview and the Writing Proficiency Test. The testing requirements above are as listed on the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) website, www.msde.maryland.gov.
All students are required to purchase the the Field Experience Edition LiveText Student Membership. LiveText accounts can be purchased at the Loyola bookstore or online at www.livetext.com. LiveText is a web-based software application used by the School of Education for key assignment submission, artifact collection, accreditation standard integration, and student assessment in initial licensure and advanced programs. Using LiveText software in conjunction with Loyola's NCATE-approved, standard-based program allows students to easily align all work with the latest state and federal standards for teacher education programs. They can also easily show proof that they have completed requirements for certification. LiveText allows students to showcase their work (worksheets, lesson plans, and other artifacts) at their own discretion to future employers and others. In addition, this software provides powerful tools for creating lesson and unit plans, including built-in standards, resources, and templates.
Many of the department's field, service-learning, practicum, and internship sites require students placed in their facilities to undergo fingerprinting, drug testing, and a criminal background check before they are allowed to begin their fieldwork. The department will assist students in meeting these requirements before they begin their field placements. Any student not cleared by this process will not be eligible to complete a certification program.
Education students must meet the knowledge, skills, and disposition standards as set forth by the School of Education's accrediting body. Students will be assessed by faculty at two transition points before internship to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and to recommend for continuation in the program. Students who fail to meet these standards in the area of dispositions will have a Professional Assessment Form filed with the department chair by a Loyola faculty member, followed by a Professional Assessment Review. The Professional Assessment Review may result in removal from the program and/or internship for the protection of both the Loyola student and the K-12 students. Complete details of this procedure are available in the student handbook.
During the spring of the senior year, elementary education majors who are not eligible for Internship II register for the 12-credit, Non-certification Option, consisting of one departmental elective and three free electives (chosen in conjunction with the advisor). The ED 446 requirement is waived for these students and replaced with one free elective. All other requirements for the major must be met. Students who complete this option do not complete the Maryland-approved program and cannot be recommended for certification.
Students completing either a Major in Elementary Education or a Minor in Secondary Education complete an internship in a professional development school (PDS). The PDS is a collaborative effort between the local schools and Loyola's School of Education.
Accreditation
The programs in teacher education are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), www.ncate.org. This accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and advanced educator preparation programs. However, the accreditation does not include individual education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for professional development, relicensure, or other purposes.
