In addition
to being admitted to The College and the major, students must
formally be accepted into a teacher-education program at the
end of their sophomore year. As a result of New Jersey State
Department of Education code revisions (section 6.11-5.1),
a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.75 is
required for students to successfully complete their teacher-education
program and be recommended for certification and licensure.
To help assure that students at The College of New Jersey
meet their requirement by graduation: 1) admission to candidacy
in all teacher-education programs, following completion of
60 credits, will require a 2.5 minimum GPA and 2) admission
to student teaching in all teacher-education programs will
require a 2.75 minimum GPA. Exceptions involving admission
will be considered on an individual basis and granted upon
approval of the chair of the department offering the program
and the dean of education.
Students
in the Schools of Art, Media, and Music; Culture and Society;
and Science who are preparing to teach must take an approved
academic major as well as the required sequence of teacher
preparation courses.
Students
majoring in early childhood education, elementary education,
and education of the deaf and hard of hearing/elementary education
(dual certification program) must complete an approved academic
major. To avoid extending their program, they should declare
that major early in their freshman year.
Quality
of Teacher Preparation (Title II, Higher Education Act annual
report): The pass rate for teacher-education students
graduating from TCNJ in 20002001 on the Praxis II examination
required for initial licensure in New Jersey was 99 percent.
