College of Education and Human Ecology
Dean: Michael J. Wiebe, Ph.D., Professor
Location: MCL 408
Telephone: (817) 898-2202

The College of Education and Human Ecology is organized into four components.
These include the Department of Reading and Bilingual Education, the Department
of Family Sciences, the Department of Educational Leadership, and the Department
of Early Childhood and Special Education.
The College of Education and Human Ecology seeks to provide each student
with a liberal education including academic specialization, a professional
identity, and the social and cultural sensitivity needed for careers in
service to others. College goals include guiding students to refine their
knowledge and prepare for careers that range from professional education
to child and family services. To achieve these goals, the College of Education
and Human Ecology utilizes the resources of its faculty, all components
of the University, and other agencies to design and implement the best possible
training programs.
Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of
Arts, Master of Science, Doctor of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees
are available through the College of Education and Human Ecology. Programs
in the college are accredited by the Texas Education Agency/ State Board
for Educator Certification.
Undergraduate studies and teacher certification are offered in an interdisciplinary
major focused in human services and human ecology. Academic specializations
are available in reading, special education, bilingual education, and early
childhood education.
Undergraduate degrees also are offered in child development, consumer sciences,
family studies, and home economics.
The College of Education and Human Ecology offers graduate degrees in child
development, family studies, family therapy, and counseling and development.
In addition, the college offers graduate degrees and/or teacher certification
programs in elementary education, elementary reading, secondary reading,
all-level reading specialist, generic special education, educational diagnostician,
supervision, educational administration, counseling and guidance, visiting
teacher, and early childhood education including kindergarten-primary education.
The College of Education and Human Ecology also offers endorsements to
teacher certification. Preparation is offered in bilingual education, early
childhood education, early childhood handicapped, English as a second language,
generic special education, gifted and talented, severely emotionally disturbed
and autistic, and severely and profoundly handicapped.
University Teacher Education Program
The University is committed to a strong and thorough program for the preparation
of teachers. Although the program is comprehensive, emphasis is placed particularly
on multicultural education, on an effective liberal arts base for all teachers,
and on the preparation of women for positions of leadership in all levels
of education.
Interdisciplinary cooperation throughout the University supports quality
preparation for teachers. Each student preparing to teach in secondary school
majors in one of her teaching fields, with a core of secondary professional
development courses and student teaching. All-level teachers likewise major
in their specializations. Students preparing to teach in elementary school
major in interdisciplinary studies with in-depth academic specializations.
The Dean and faculty of the College of Education and Human Ecology coordinate
the teacher education program. Policies for teacher education are formulated
by the Teacher Education Council. This Council includes representatives
from all academic specializations as well as from the College of Education
and Human Ecology. Academic advising is available to each student from both
the academic specialization and the College of Education and Human Ecology.
All students pursuing teacher certification must pass all three sections
of the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) tests and achieve a GPA of at
least 2.5 prior to enrolling in professional education course work. (A
minimum GPA of 2.5 must be maintained throughout the remainder of the program.)
Professional education course work includes ERDB 3133, ELDR 3133, 6 hours
in either elementary or secondary curriculum and methods (see courses listed
under the headings Requirements for Elementary Certification and Requirements
for Secondary Certification later in this section) and 6 hours of student
teaching.
In 1996, TWU was awarded Pilot status by the Texas Education Agency for
the implementation of a field-based teacher education program. The curriculum
developed by The Community Collaborative Professional Development Center
(CCPDC) will replace fully the current 12 semester hours of undergraduate
professional education course work by the end of the Spring semester of
1998.
Admission to Teacher Education
Upon registering for the second semester of the sophomore year, each student
who expects to teach in the public schools, regardless of level, must apply
for admission to the Teacher Education Program. Transfer students who enter
the University after the second semester must apply for admission immediately.
Teacher Education Program Enrollment Meetings are held once each semester
for this purpose. (Students entering the CCPDC, Field-Based Teacher Education
Program, will be admitted during their Intern 1 semester and do not need
to attend a Teacher Education Program Enrollment Meeting.) Full admission
to the Teacher Education Program must be achieved prior to the semester
of student teaching.
The requirements for admission to the Teacher Education Program are as
follows:
1. A passing score on the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) tests in
Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.
2. An overall grade point average of not less than 2.5.
3. A minimum of 12 hours and 24 grade points (C average) in freshman and
sophomore English.
4. Successful completion of admissions interview.
5. Three satisfactory faculty recommendations.
Students admitted to the Teacher Education Program are subject to all prevailing
academic and social regulations and policies of the University in addition
to those specified for the various certificate program sequences. The student
also is subject to any Texas legislative action or State Board of Education
policy that becomes effective during the lifetime of this catalog. In addition
to the certificate requirements, the student must satisfy the degree requirements
of the major department and the University. The teacher education advisor
in each department will assist the student in meeting all requirements.
Admission to Student Teaching
The student must satisfy the following requirements before being eligible
for student teaching:
1. Admission to the Teacher Education Program
2. An overall grade point average of not less than 2.5
3. A grade of C or better in every course to be counted toward
certification
4. Completion of 12 hours of professional education and 3 hours
in reading
5. Documentation of completion of 90 hours of Early Field Experience
6. Elementary certification applicants must lack no more than 6 hours in
the interdisciplinary core and 3 hours in the elementary specialization
prior to student teaching; secondary certification applicants must lack
no more than 9 hours in an Option I single secondary teaching field or 6
hours in each of two teaching fields prior to student teaching
Application for Teaching Certificate
Applications for teaching certificates are available in the Office of Teacher
Education, College of Education and Human Ecology, and are distributed at
the Student Teaching Enrollment Meeting held once each semester. Applications
must be completed and returned to the Office of Teacher Education by the
deadline the semester during which certification requirements are completed.
Specific dates for application are printed in both the University calendar
and the student teaching calendar each semester.
Specific rules affect teacher certification procedures and institutional
recommendation. These include:
1. Effective September 1, 1989, no student may be admitted to an initial
certificate or endorsement program based on standards established prior
to the 1987 Standards for Teacher Education.
2. Beginning February 1, 1986, in order to be approved for a teacher's
certificate, additional teaching fields, or areas of specialization, or
endorsements, persons, including those holding a valid out-of-state certificate
shall be required to achieve a satisfactory level of performance on one
or more examinations prescribed by the State Board of Education.
3. Beginning February 1, 1987, in order to be approved for certification
as a superintendent or other administrator, or for other certified professional
positions, persons, including those holding a valid out-of-state certificate,
shall be required to achieve a satisfactory level of performance on an examination
prescribed by the State Board of Education.
4. Effective September 1, 1982, the State Board of Education rule gives
the Commissioner of Education the authority to suspend or revoke a teaching
certificate, or refuse to issue a teaching certificate for a person who
has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor for a crime directly related
to the duties and responsibilities of the teaching profession.
Certification of Post-Baccalaureate Students
TWU offers several options to individuals with a bachelor's degree who
are seeking either initial or additional Texas teacher certification. Materials
are available in the Office of Teacher Education which outline the steps
involved in having a deficiency plan prepared. All students pursuing initial
teacher certification must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 and pass
all three parts of the Texas Academic Skills Program (TASP) test prior to
enrolling in professional education course work. At least 12 semester hours
of course work must be taken at TWU prior to recommendation for certification.
Other requirements unique to the academic specialization must be satisfied.
Teaching Certificate Sequences
Teaching certificate programs vary among departments of the University.
Some programs require the Bachelor of Arts degree; others permit a student
to choose either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree.
Some programs provide only for a single teaching field; others make possible
two teaching fields. In special areas, certificates are provided which permit
the student to teach a special subject in all grades of the public schools.
Certificates that are approved for the preparation of teachers at the Texas
Woman's University are indicated on the following pages. Each department
will have details on specific certification requirements.
