Advisor Assignments
Students can indicate intended majors upon arrival at ECU and are assigned to the COE Advising Center. Students can declare once academic standing has been established.
You must see your advisor each semester to discuss course selection, information pertinent to your progression and to get your registration pin.
Students can make appointments with other advisors if their advisor is not available when they need to make an appointment.
Students can make appointments via the electronic calendar accessed at:
http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/ci/advising/Index.cfm
Students should check ECU email accounts frequently!
Private AOL, Yahoo, etc. accounts will not be used.
Schedule an advising appointment, beginning in April, with an advisor in the Center to go over your credits and see where you are in the program. Once you are officially a Pirate, make advising appointments early in the semester.

Concentration Details….
Elementary:
-Students choose one area of concentration.
-Does not impact license, with the exception of Reading
-In most concentrations, 6 hours double count for both program area and concentration.
Middle Grades
-Students choose two areas of concentration.
-These areas determine what students will be licensed to teach.
- 6 hours double count in both program area and concentrations.

Concentration Details…..
Special Education
-Reading is the built in concentration for general curriculum.
-Disability services is the built in concentration for adapted curriculum.
ENED, HIED, and MATHED:
-Do not have areas of concentration.
SCIED:
-Concentrations are outlined on the checklists. Students will choose one area of science.

Concerning Math…..
Transferring with at least 30 transferable credit hours:
Must have completed 6 transferable hours in English equivalent to ENGL 1100 & ENGL 1200 and 3 transferable credit hours of Math equivalent to MATH 1065 (College Algebra)
Transferring with less than 30 transferable credit hours:
Must have completed 6 transferable hours in English equivalent to ENGL 1100 & 1200 and 3 transferable credit hours of Math equivalent to MATH 1065 (College Algebra)
Math concentration/degree is closely sequenced and has many prerequisites with some courses only offered spring or fall; thus, students must pay close attention.

Noteworthy…..
Per changes mandated by the Department of Public Instruction, new licensure requirements will be in effect for all students admitted to teacher education programs beginning fall 2010.
Foundations curriculum requirements currently mandated by program areas and reflected on current checklists may vary somewhat in fall 2010 from what is listed currently; however, these requirements should be finalized and reflected on updated checklists available in the fall of 2010.
One definite change: PSYC 3206 will no longer be required in the core curriculum for teacher education programs at ECU. Students in programs currently requiring this course should instead take PSYC 2777 Ethnocultural Psychology- social science credit or EDUC 3002 Introduction to Diversity- no social science credit.

No foreign language requirement for ELEM, ENED, HIED, MIDG,
SPED, MATHED SCIED
8 hours of science (physical/life) required for graduation- one must
have a lab.
The 2123 classes are the introductory classes for each major. Usually
taken sophomore year, they provide a comprehensive overview of
education and actual “hands-on” experience in a public school classroom.
Subsequent methods courses will include developmental practicums.

Professional Attire…..
Practicum/field work in the public school setting requires appropriate professional attire. You are a pre-service professional when you are in the field, not a college student.
As you will begin this work in your 2123 course, you should plan appropriately for this.
Purchase khaki, navy or black pants and some shirts that look professional- button up with collars- so that you will be ready for your field work/practicum in the school setting when that time arrives.

UD RequirementsAll students must meet these requirements for admission to UD.
Minimum 2.5 ECU GPA (Must be maintained)
2123 course for the major ( C or better)

Other Considerations
ECU has an outstanding College of Education-
undergraduate and graduate programs
Current market for teachers: There is still a shortage but needs are greater in the areas of special education, middle grades education and math/science.
Masters degrees and National Board Certification can enhance salary 22-24%
COAD 1000
This is a “Welcome to College” course to help students get acclimated to post secondary study. It is an elective and a terrific course to take if you feel so inclined.
