Area F Courses

The EPAAC committee approved a new framework for Area F in teacher preparation. It entails a total change in Area F beginning in the fall 2007. However, any student who has completed Area F before the fall of 2007 need not be concerned about the changes. If any student has partially completed Area F by the all of 2007 they may “substitute” the following courses for the new courses in Area F:

1) Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Education ( EDUC2101 ) may be substituted for Investigating Critical & Contemporary Issues in Education ( EDUC2110 ).

2) Human Development and Learning Theories ( EDUC2102 ) may be substituted for Exploring Teaching and Learning ( EDUC2130 ).

3) Teaching Students with Disabilities in the General Education Classroom ( SPED2000 ) may be substituted for Exploring Socio Cultural Perspectives on Diversity ( EDUC2120 ).

These substitutions may be done until the fall of 2009. If any student has not fully completed either the “old” courses under Area F ( EDUC2101 , EDUC2102 , SPED2000 ) or a combination of “old” and new courses in Area F ( EDUC2110 , EDUC2120 , EDUC2130 ) they will be subject to taking all of the new courses in Area F ( EDUC2110 , EDUC2120 , EDUC2130 , ISCI2001, ISCI2002, and MATH2008 ) beginning Spring of 2010. There will be no exceptions!

EDUC2101, EDUC2102, and SPED2000 will no longer be offered after the summer 2007 semester.

Dr. Jackson invites you to contact him with any questions regarding these new requirements: cjackson@aug.edu or 706-6674499

Please note, these substitutions are for Area F only! Please contact your advisor for an alternate class that will satisfy the old SPED2000 requirement for any other area in your program!

Can I take all three classes during the same semester?

The Department recommends that you take these classes one per semester because it gives you the time to fully devote yourself to the lab and gain the practical experience necessary to become a superior teacher. However, you may take multiple classes with special permission from either your advisor or the Department Chair.

Remember, you will have to meet the lab requirements for EACH individual class. For example, if you take EDUC2110, EDUC2120 & EDUC2130 the same semester, you must complete 15 hours of lab for EACH class (45 hours total). You cannot use the same 15 hours of lab to satisfy the requirements for multiple classes.

Will I have to "teach" any of the time that I am doing my lab experience?

No.

How are the hours structured?

The lab hours are manageable if the student gets started as soon as they get their lab assignment.

When will I get my assignment of the teacher/school I will go to?

Usually given to you the second week of class.

Can I go to a school near my home?

You can request a school, but your choice of school is not guaranteed.
