Overview

Description

Students already enrolled in a degree program at the GSE, who already possess a Standard or CEAS or are currently working toward initial teacher certification, may complete the Education: Preschool Through Grade-3 program of Rutgers University in conjunction with their degree program. In addition, non-degree-seeking students may complete the program on a non-matriculated basis (see below for more information about this option).

The program has three goals:

to prepare early childhood professionals to work in diverse settings with an understanding of the contexts in which children grow and develop;

to prepare teachers who are knowledgeable about children’s learning and their physical, cognitive, social and emotional development; and

to foster an understanding of a variety of ways in which early childhood programs can be delivered to support the foundations of discipline-based knowledge in literacy, mathematics, science, and art.
