The Associate of Arts in Teaching presents core knowledge of the education profession by combining content and pedagogical knowledge. Pre-candidates demonstrate a basic understanding of the teaching profession and student learning. The program emphasizes the uniqueness of each student, recognizing that children are best understood in the context of family, culture, society, and environment. The Associate of Arts in Teaching prepares pre-candidates to work in schools as paraprofessionals or to continue on to obtain their Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. To obtain an Associate of Arts in Teaching, the student must earn at least a grade point average of 2.70 on all University credits, and complete the required curriculum (major courses with a C or higher).
