A better pathway to Elementary Education For future Elementary School Teachers, an AS Degree in Child Development and Education can be a better option than a Liberal Studies degree. A CDE degree will better prepare students with an understanding of children's development and their unique needs. SB 876 legislation requires TK and Kindergarten Teachers to obtain 24 CDE units. Many elementary teachers are returning to MSJC to take these required units.
Our Program Expansion Professional Development Series Spring 2018 the CDE Department plans to offer a Teacher Professional Development Series to promote teacher competency and currency in the education field. This series is designed for teachers who hold a California State Child Development Permit or Credential or Licensed Family Child Care Providers. These professionals are required to engage in professional growth activities either for licensing requirements or receive higher state reimbursement rates. The goal is to support skill attainment in areas such as behavior management, diversity, STEM education and to encourage educators to continue up the ladder to credit bearing course work. Accelerated Certificate and Employment (ACE) The ACE (Accelerated, Certificate, and Employment) program provides students additional academic and career development support to ensure they succeed in their program and find employment after graduation. Students receive employability training, resume assistance, and interview preparation. The CDE department has volunteered to be one of the pilot programs for ACE at MSJC in spring 2018. Our department has agreed to offer the 4 core CDE classes leading to an associate teacher permit credential from California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The program will offer a section of Occupational Internship for students to earn their work experience hours during the semester. CDE Bilingual Pathways We are investigating the ability to offer core course work in a bilingual modality. This new cohort would enable a more diverse population to begin acquiring the units needed to move up the California State Teaching Permit Matrix in order to demonstrate competency. This program would make higher education more accessible for those with limited English Language skills. This model is based on bilingual educational principles where subject-content material is taught in both languages, with an increasing emphasis on English.
Pathways Given the new focus on pathways, we are proud to note our department was one of the first programs at MSJC to develop a structured pathway for all CDE degree offerings. In Spring 2015 we developed pathway documents designed to provide students with a clear map of course sequences with an aligned 2-year course-offering schedule. Combined, these documents allow students, counselors and faculty to better support degree completion and student success.
