ECE Program Planning Form
When you are advised, I suggest you 1) bring this form with you, and 2) keep a copy for your records. This outlines all of the classes the ECE program recommends you take. Although this is your education and you have autonomy and power to decide, we suggest these specific courses for the following reasons:
- Articulation agreements — these are legally binding agreements between 2-year and 4-year colleges in which both colleges identify which courses a student will take at the 2-year college and the 4-year college agrees to accept all of the credits a student completes at the 2-year college — but the student must meet all of the requirements for 4-year college, such as GPA, specific grades for specific classes, etc.
- Courses Required for NYS ECE Teacher Certification — NY State Education Department requires teacher candidates to take specific college courses in order to become a certified teacher; these courses, along with those you take at your 4-year college, meet those requirements
- Preparation for NYS Teacher Certification Exams — teacher candidates are required to complete 3 rigorous exams in NYS. The exams cover general knowledge (math, science, Social Studies, English, art, etc.) as well as best practices in early childhood education and working with diverse learners (children with disabilities and multi-language learners). These courses will help prepare you for those exams
