1.1

The English teacher education program will model effective pedagogical practices and provide opportunities for analysis of pedagogy, reflection on pedagogy, and implementation of effective pedagogy in pre-service teachers= own planning and instruction.

Secondary

Major:

English majors benefit from two required pedagogy courses:  English 408, Writing for Writing Teachers, and English 409, Secondary English Methods.  In each course students are immersed in professional literature and practices representing many voices in the discipline.  Students participate in reading, discussing, modeling, and reflecting on pedagogical practices presented in each course and opportunities are provided for students to relate practices studied to the realities of actual classroom application.

Minor:

English Minors are required to successfully complete twenty-four (24) credits reflecting a balanced curriculum in literature, composition, language, and pedagogy.  All English Minors are required to take English 408, Writing for Writing Teachers.  Special Education Minors are required to take both English 408 and English 409, Teaching Secondary English.  See (1.1) for and attached course syllabi in Appendix.

Secondary

Major:

As recommended in the guidelines approved by the National Council of Teachers of English, NCATE, and the Michigan Curriculum Framework, our English Education Program provides students with a strong content background through a balanced program of literature, composition, language, and pedagogy.  We integrate these areas through a variety of authentic products which requires synthesis from content and pedagogy courses.  Examples include creation of integrated teaching units, portfolios, reader’s and writer’s research projects, and school-based interactions leading to professional projects.  See attached course syllabi for ENGL 408, ENGL 409, and LITR 479.

Guideline/Standard

The English teacher education program will maintain an articulated and coordinated curriculum involving content, pedagogy, and professionalism, that is aligned with standards from NCATE, Michigan Council of Teachers of English (MCTE), NCTE/IKRA Standards, and Michigan=s Guidelines for the Professional Development of Teachers of English Language Arts. for the Professional Development of Teachers of English Language Arts

Secondary

Major:

The Secondary English Education Program is designed to prepare students for teaching the language arts in middle and high schools.  Students who pursue the teaching major in Literature, Language, and Writing are required to take a minimum of 36 hours which includes study in English, American and World literature; in writing for varied purposes and audiences and in multiple genres; in the structure and dynamics of language; and in the theory, research, and methods of teaching the language arts.  Within these four areas  of study (literature, composition, language, and pedagogy), students alternate between required courses and choices among courses falling under specific rubrics.  In this way, students achieve both coverage and depth:  becoming exposed to certain concepts and skills necessary for all teachers of language arts, but pursuing in some depth personal areas of interest.  Recent program revisions in response to previous self-study has resulted in changes in requirements.  New requirements incorporate a stronger emphasis on genre studies, major authors, integration of linguistics, and language and culture studies.  These content emphases are further integrated across methods courses where students synthesize concepts into teaching products such as the ones noted above.

Minor:

English Minors participate in the same course requirements as English Majors.  As noted above, all English minors complete 24 hours within the department including  English 408.
