2008-2009 curriculum
Content area preadmission course requirements
Master of education/initial licensure in agricultural education
Content area courses are prerequisites that must be completed or in progress at the time of M.Ed./ILP program admission.
Courses in the content area are required to meet the Standards of Effective Practice for Teachers (SEPT) and content standards adopted in 1998 by the Minnesota Board of Teaching: The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for students. Contact program faculty at the Department of Work and Human Resource Education (WHRE), who will assess and recommend courses that fulfill this requirement.
