Department of Curriculum and Instruction

Chair: Main Office: 205-934-5371

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers undergraduate programs with several options leading to Alabama Class B professional educator certification. Students may select from the following pathways to a degree and teacher certification: early childhood (birth-age 8, grades preschool-3), elementary education (grades K-6), middle school math education (grades 4-8), secondary English language arts education (grades 6-12), secondary social studies education (grades 6-12), secondary science education in several focus areas (grades 6-12), music education (grades preschool-12 in choral or instrumental). All secondary and music majors work with faculty in both the School of Education & Human Sciences and the College of Arts & Sciences.

Students participate in field experiences and volunteer activities in community and school settings both before and after admission to the Teacher Education Program. These opportunities to work with children and youth are designed to enhance students’ professional development and to supplement their campus coursework.

Students should contact the Office of Student Services, Suite 311, Education and Engineering Building, (205) 934-7530, early in their studies to obtain the name of their advisor and pertinent program information to guide their studies. Students should consult their advisor prior to each registration period for the appropriate guidance (e.g., students are expected to take courses in the appropriate sequence).

Early Childhood Education-Teacher Certification

UAB’s Early Childhood program prepares future educators to recognize and meet the evolving needs of young learners from birth to age 8 (grades preschool-3) during their earliest exposure to education. Teacher candidates will earn a bachelor of science degree in Early Childhood Education and qualify for Class B professional educator certification in Alabama.

Please note that students must earn a grade of C or better in all methods block courses and maintain a minimum methods block GPA of 3.0 during the primary (grades K-3) and birth - 5 (babies-preschool) blocks of coursework. Please note that extensive field experiences are required prior to internship.

All School of Education and Human Sciences programs honor the Alabama General Studies Committee's State Articulation Agreement for transferred coursework. Please see UAB's Undergraduate Admissions website for details if you plan to transfer courses to UAB.

Middle School Education

A program in middle grades mathematics (grades 4-8) is offered in conjunction with the College of Arts and Sciences. Students following this program must meet TEP entrance, retention, and completion requirements as outlined in previous sections in order to be recommended for Alabama teacher certification. Students seeking certification in middle grades mathematics should complete the Mathematical Reasoning track of the Mathematics major within the Department of Mathematics (See Catalog). For education course requirements, contact the Office of Student Services (205-934-7530), within the School of Education and Human Sciences, for the current checklist. This program is a part of the UABTeach Program. For more information on UABTeach contact Dr. Paulette Evans at pgevans@uab.edu or visit the website at www.uab.edu/uabteach.

Secondary Education

Secondary education has programs leading to teacher certification in biology, chemistry, physics, general science, English language arts, general social science, mathematics, and music education as described below.

Secondary education offers a major in secondary education and successful completion leads to Class B professional educator certification for grades 6-12 in English language arts (ELA) and in general social science (GSS). Candidates obtaining certification in these two teaching fields must either have an academic major (in English for ELA or in history for GSS). Because of teacher certification requirements, content coursework may slightly differ from those courses required of traditional English or history majors. Thus, candidates should follow the appropriate program checklist assigned by the Office of Student Services within the School of Education and Human Sciences to insure that they meet certification requirements. Although an academic major in English or history may be built into the certification checklists, candidates should seek advising for these content majors from College of Arts and Science (CAS) advisors to insure they meet all current degree requirements for either English or history. Students who complete requirements for both an academic major and an education major will receive a single degree with both majors listed.

Due to ALSDE regulations for teachers, Core Curriculum requirements for education majors are more specific than Core Curriculum requirements for academic majors. Students should seek advising and obtain a program checklist from the Office of Student Services, Phone: (205) 934-7530. Students should also consult with their education advisor once per term and also with a content advisor in CAS to insure they stay on track for all requirements.
