2006-2007 General Catalog
University of California, Riverside Liberal Studies College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Anne Sutherland, Ph.D., Director Committee in Charge Major Liberal Studies is the major of choice for students interested in careers in elementary school education. Under the federal legislation No Child Left Behind all prospective teachers must be “highly qualified” by demonstrating proficiency in their subject matter. The Liberal Studies major includes a core of lower-division courses designed to provide students with broad subject matter coverage to give them the foundation needed to pass the CSET and enable them to be well-prepared to teach. The five upper-division tracks allow students to build upon their strengths and interests and at the same time provide them with a connection to the core Education courses. Preparation for Teaching The Bridge to Teaching Program is a pre-professional program open to undergraduates in all majors who are interested in teaching in California elementary schools. Through the program, prospective teachers begin to think pedogically about subjects they are studying, gain early field experience in the schools, and receive an introduction to the profession that will help them make informed decisions about their own careers. The goal is to give prospective elementary school teachers information about state requirements that are best met when students are undergraduates and to advise on how to prepare to teach the required subjects in California elementary schools. The program is administered in the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs, 2417 Humanities and Social Sciences, (951) 827-2743. Blended Program in Undergraduate Teacher Preparation Qualified students have the opportunity to enroll in an accelerated program resulting in an elementary credential. The end goal is to be able to begin “professional” student teaching in the final quarter of the senior year. Our goal is to give early deciders the opportunity to begin teaching their own classes earlier and as interns to continue to receive the intense support of the Graduate School of Education and the school district during the first two quarters of the first year of teaching. Students must take EDUC 001 and EDUC 002. Successful completion also requires careful course selection and a minimum GPA of 3.0. Advising is a collaborative effort between the Bridge to Teaching Program and the Graduate School of Education. For Information about undergraduate requirements, contact Susan Braddock in the Office of Interdisciplinary Programs, 2417 Humanities and Social Sciences, (951) 827-2743, or susan.braddock@ucr.edu. Information about UCR’s credential programs can be found at the Graduate School of Education Web site, education.ucr.edu/teachor at 1124 Sproul Hall. California Teach-Science/Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI) Students with a talent for science, math or engineering can translate that ability into a teaching career in California through the California Teach-Science/Mathematics Initiative (CaTEACH-SMI). Students who partner with CaTEACH-SMI at UCR can complete a science, engineering, or mathematics degree and become eligible for an intern teaching credential in just four years. Beginning with the freshman year, students intern in a local primary or secondary classroom with a mentor teacher. At UCR, they can meet other CaTEACH-SMI students and their UCR peer mentor at the program's Resource Center, where students can receive credential advising. The program's director is specially chosen from the mathematics and science faculty at UCR. SMI undergraduate interns may qualify for a stipend. For more information contact smi@ucr.edu or visit the Resource Center at 1104 Pierce Hall or smi.ucr.edu. University Requirements See Undergraduate Studies section.
