I’m a teacher education major with a focus in Sociology. What do I need to know?
You must take Soc 100, 6 hours from the following: Soc 235, 241, 242, or 260, and 6 hours from the following: Soc 228, 320, 421, 424, 427, or 470. Each of these classes will have designated assignments (artifacts) for you to include in your teaching portfolio. This portfolio will be assessed by the department of sociology before the student will receive his/her teaching license. Social science teaching majors with areas in sociology are required to meet with the teaching major advisor yearly to ensure they are making progress on their portfolios. You will also need to adhere to 4 decision points. For specific information about these decision points, please visit this website. You will also be required to take a content exam. The dates of the exam will be posted on the sociology department website and on the board across from NQ 208. For additional information about sociology as part of the teacher education major, please contact the teaching major advisor at 765-285-5977.
