Early Childhood Notes

What has remained the same in the Early Childhood Literacy program..

The program still requires 30 credit hours to complete.

What has changed in the Early Childhood Literacy program..

--There are two course distribution requirements in the program:  Content/Pedagogy Core (24 credit hours) and Electives (6 credit hours);

--The Ed Foundations Core requirement has been eliminated.  Some of those courses are now required as Content/Pedagogy Core (eg, ERDG 526, ERDG 655, and ERDG 610) while others are available as elective options;

--ERDG 504 is no longer a required course but is available as an elective option;

--ERDG 618 is no longer a required course.  In fact, it is no longer being offered and has been replaced by ETAP 612 and ETAP 614.  Both ETAP 612 and ETAP 614 are required as Content/Pedagogy Core courses.

Which Early Childhood Literacy program plan should you follow?

--Students starting their program in Spring 2006 (regardless of when they were admitted), must follow the new program plan.

--If you have completed ERDG 618 then you should consider completing your degree under the old program plan.

--If you have not taken ERDG 618 then you should shift to the new program plan. However, please be sure to carefully consider the course work you have completed to date. Check with your advisor, so that in shifting to the revised program plan you don't inadvertently end up needing 33 credit hours to finish your program.
