MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF YOUNG CHILDREN educational settings by obtaining three endorsements with one program.
Through the accelerated Early Childhood Education program at Lewis University, students will gain experience in developing curricular adaptations and instructional strategies that are interdisciplinary, 多元文化的, 包容, 顾家的, and developmentally appropriate, and address the needs of young children across a range of characteristics and abilities, including emergent bi- and multilingual children and children with developmental delays and disabilities.
Upon graduation, students will be prepared to teach students from birth to Grade 2.
THREE ENDORSEMENTS THROUGH ONE PROGRAM
凯发集团官网
Lewis University’s program is one of the only early childhood degree programs in Illinois to offer all three endorsements within one major:
- 幼儿教育 – Regular education classrooms, birth through 2nd grade.
- Early Childhood Special Education – Special education classrooms, birth through 2nd grade.
- 英语作为第二语言 – Classrooms with emergent bi- and multilingual children, Pre-K through grade 12.
- Optional: Bilingual Endorsement – Bilingual may add this endorsement through completion of one additional course and passing the appropriate ILTS Target Language Proficiency exam.
These endorsements are now required qualifications for teachers of preschool and primary children in many districts throughout the state of Illinois. Many schools and districts seek candidates with these three endorsements for teaching positions at lower grade levels.
2+2程序选项
通过一个 unique partnership with Joliet Junior College (JJC), students may attend JJC for the first two years of the program and complete the final two years at Lewis University's main campus in 罗马oville, 以获得学费折扣.
