Admission
Admission requirements for most non-licensure majors (dietetics, exercise science, family studies, health studies, and sport studies) are the same as those for admission to the university.
To enter the athletic training major, you must apply and be accepted by the faculty of the Department of Physical Education, Health, and Sport Studies. Admission is limited due to the accreditation standards of the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs/National Athletic Trainers Association. You may become a pre-major by becoming an affiliate athletic training student. After your affiliate experience, you must have at least a cumulative 2.5 grade point average, have completed PHS 182 and PHS 183 with a grade of B or better, and have successful evaluations from the supervising athletic trainers. Students with the best grades and evaluations from the athletic training faculty and staff receive preference if there are more applicants who meet the criteria than available openings. For more information contact the Department of Physical Education, Health, and Sport Studies, 106 Phillips Hall (513-529-2700).
Prior to admission to the social work major, you may declare a pre-major. You must apply and be approved by the social work faculty to become a social work major. Admission requires completion of: (1) 30 hours of course work with a 2.5 or above cumulative g.p.a.; (2) FSW 201 with a grade of C or better and a passing grade in ZOO 161, ECO 201, SOC 151, and PSY 111; (3) 20 hours of volunteer work in a social service agency within the past four years; (4) a questionnaire; and (5) two recommendations. Application packets must be filed in the Social Work Program Office by the first Friday in March. Admission is limited. You must meet program requirements as they stand at the time you declare this major. All students are held to the Social Work Retention Policy (see the Social Work Handbook available from the social work department office).
To enter the special education program, complete an application in the Department of Educational Psychology, 201 McGuffey. Admission is limited to those who are eligible for admission to a teacher licensure program and have completed 30 semester hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5, including earned grades in EDP 220 Field Experience in Special Education, EDP 256 Psychology of the Exceptional Learner, and EDP 201 Human Development and Learning in Social and Educational Contexts, as well as 100 hours of service with individuals with special needs. Students with a g.p.a. below the requisite 2.5 may still apply if special circumstances exist. See the Special Education section later in this chapter for more information.
See the Department of Teacher Education Programs in this chapter for information about those programs.
Honors Program
In order to participate in the School of Education and Allied Professions Honors Program, you must be accepted into the University Honors Program. More information may be obtained from the University Honors Program office, 102 Bishop Hall (513-529-3399).
Teacher Licensure
Students enrolled in teacher licensure or educational personnel programs are required to participate in clinical and field experiences that require travel to schools. Fees to offset the cost of field experience travel, site development, and supervision are assessed twice during the licensure program.
Licensure as a classroom teacher in the state of Ohio, and most other states, requires completion of a baccalaureate licensure program, passing a licensure examination(s), and a background check. One semester prior to graduation, students should register for the required sections of the licensure examination and start the background check. Applications for your licensure should be completed when examination scores are returned. All costs associated with these requirements are the responsibility of the applicant.
Candidates in our teacher preparation and other school personnel programs will be required to prepare a portfolio which will be reviewed at established intervals within our programs. Each program will indicate the artifacts required for each step in the review process. The process of the portfolio review will demonstrate the candidate's level of proficiency in meeting national, state, and institutional standards.
Students seeking licensure in more than one teaching field must meet all requirements for each field, including student teaching. These programs will exceed the minimum credit hours for graduation.
Supervised Teaching Policy
Supervised teaching, also called student teaching, is a period of guided teaching when licensure program majors take increasing responsibility for learning activities of students in a classroom. It includes full-day off-campus assignments for an entire semester, facilitated by a university supervisor in a school in cooperation with a licensed classroom teacher.
Student teachers are participants in all phases of the school program. They teach classes, organize and direct extracurricular activities, attend faculty meetings, and participate in other school functions.
Placements are in the Miami University designated geographic area in southwestern Ohio. Student teachers are required to make their own transportation arrangements, including costs. Students must manage their financial obligations to avoid outside involvement during this assignment and curtail other campus responsibilities so they do not interfere with the supervised teaching assignment. Under state law, student teachers must provide written evidence of a negative TB test for school officials. The test must be taken within six months prior to the starting date for student teaching. Placement arrangements cannot be completed until the background check has been returned.
Student teaching application forms are available in the Student Teaching/Field Placement Office. At Hamilton and Middletown campuses, the forms are available in the campus advising office. Application forms should be completed, signed by your adviser, and returned to the Oxford campus at the beginning of the semester before your teaching assignment; those dates are posted by the Student Teaching/Field Placement Office.
Refer to specific program requirements for student teaching prerequisites.
Art and Music Education
Art and music education programs, administered through the School of Fine Arts, are described in that chapter. Students preparing to teach art must plan their programs with an art education adviser in the Department of Art. Students interested in music education should consult an adviser in the Department of Music.
Family Studies and Social Work
Two degree programs in fields related to families and social work are offered. Each major combines courses in social sciences, natural sciences, and specialty areas to prepare students for professional careers in family studies or social work.
Field Experience with Families and Children
FSW 494 Field Experiences with Families and Children is required for students majoring in family studies. The purpose of field experience is to offer opportunity for practical experience in professional application as a part of your education. Work experience must include field experiences in your major area. Experiences may include supervision, training, working with children, the elderly, families, or community service (such as domestic violence programs). Your program must be approved by the field experience coordinator prior to your work experience.
Social Work Senior Practicum
FSW 411 Social Work Senior Practicum is taken for six semester hours both semesters of the senior year. The practicum provides an opportunity to apply generalist social work knowledge and skills from the classroom to experiences within a social service agency setting. Students apply generalist social work knowledge and methods to social work with individuals, families, groups, agencies, communities, and/or institutions.
Health and Sport Studies
Five majors (athletic training, dietetics, exercise science, health studies, sport studies) founded on the study of health, exercise, leisure, nutrition, sport, and their relationships, are offered.
Health and Sport Studies Internships
PHS 420 Directed Field Experiences is recommended. With joint approval of a university supervisor and a field-based associate, students may gain clinical and technical competence while applying theory and research to practice. Exemplary agencies for internships include corporate fitness programs, community health promotion agencies, and sport franchises. Guidelines are available in the department office.
Instructional Materials Center
The instructional materials center in King Library provides teacher resources and multimedia materials. The collection consists of the Eileen Tway Children's Literature Collection, textbooks, curriculum guides and activity books, and multimedia resources including videos, audio cassettes, filmstrips, slides, models, kits and games, and computer software. Preview equipment for various media is available.
Ohio Writing Project
Ohio Writing Project (OWP) is a program to improve student writing and the teaching of writing in K-12 classrooms. The project brings together outstanding teachers in workshop settings where they share successful approaches to the teaching of writing and study composition theory and pedagogy. Part of the National Writing Project, OWP also emphasizes that writing teachers must themselves write, both to understand how students write and to sharpen their own writing skills.
In addition to teacher preparation, the project offers a testing service to participating school districts that is partially funded by the Ohio Board of Regents. The OWP office is located in the Department of English, 302 Bachelor Hall (513-529-5245).
Career Services
Career services are offered by the Career Planning and Placement Office (CPPO), 241 Hoyt Hall (513-529-3831). The CPPO assists students to find employment in teaching and other fields. They can also assist you in establishing credentials, writing resumes, and interviewing.
Department of Teacher Education
For information contact the Department of Teacher Education, 301 McGuffey Hall (513-529-6443).
This department administers undergraduate teacher licensure programs approved by the Ohio Division of Teacher Education and Licensure. Each program, when combined with a baccalaureate degree, makes the candidate eligible for Provisional Ohio teaching licensure in a selected teaching field.
Candidates will be expected to complete and pass the portfolio review process at established intervals within the program. Information about the portfolio review process should be obtained from the department office.
Students who have earned a baccalaureate degree may complete a teacher licensure program as part of a Master of Arts in Teaching degree program in four major cohort areas or may complete a licensure only program in all subject areas. (See the Graduate Bulletin for information about the Master of Arts in Teaching degree program.)
Cohorts
A cohort is defined as a group of students who have been selected by the Department of Teacher Education to experience certain parts of their program together, provided they satisfy the prerequisite retention requirements for the methods courses for their licensure field and for student teaching. A cohort is identified by its general subject or licensure area and by a semester or academic year during which the members start or complete their methods courses. For example, Integrated Mathematics 2004-05, Integrated Mathematics 2005-06, Science 2004-05, Middle Childhood Language Arts and Science 2005-06, Middle Childhood Math and Science 2005-06, and Early Childhood Fall 2004 are all separate cohorts.
Selection to a Cohort
Students declare a pre-major in a Teacher Education program at the time of university admission or as soon thereafter as possible. After declaring a pre-major, students must apply for acceptance to a cohort. Selection is limited for each cohort to ensure quality instruction; those applicants with the greatest potential for academic success are selected for each cohort. Admission to Miami University or to the School of Education and Allied Professions as a pre-major neither implies nor guarantees selection to a cohort.
A cohort application form may be obtained from the Department of Teacher Education, 301 McGuffey Hall (513-529-6443). Admission to cohorts for pre-majors is based on a student's g.p.a. in all Miami Plan courses. This consists of at least 12 credit hours of Miami Plan courses taken for a grade. Deadline for application submission is April 1 each year. Applicants are notified after grades are posted for the spring semester.Unsuccessful applicants may remain on a waiting list for later admission, if openings occur, or may apply for a later cohort.
You may apply to two cohort programs in order to become eligible for multiple teaching licenses; however, you must be selected to both cohorts. If you are selected to an Adolescent Education cohort, you may also pursue any of the other programs within that same cohort; you must notify your academic adviser of intent to do so.
Transfer Students
Students transferring from another university or enrolled in another program at Miami may apply for selection into a teacher education licensure cohort following the guidelines in the "Limited Admissions to Programs" section of this Bulletin.
Retention
There are retention checkpoints for each cohort at the time of registration for each instructional procedures course and at the time of application to supervised teaching. The department has established retention criteria specific to each major for each retention point, which are available from the department.
Transferring from One Cohort to Another
A student in one cohort may not transfer to a different cohort, unless the student applies and is selected to the different cohort. Exceptions to this policy may be made in the case of medical, health, financial, or family hardship at the discretion of the coordinator of the program appropriate to the student's cohort.
Appeal Procedures
The following procedures are available for those who wish to appeal non-selection to a cohort. An appeal must be made in writing to the coordinator of the licensure program and must identify mitigating circumstances that would justify reversal of the decision. Then the following steps may be taken:
- The student schedules an appointment with the coordinator of the appropriate licensure program to discuss the appeal.
- If the student is not satisfied, he or she may then schedule an appointment with the department chair to discuss the appeal.
- If the student is still not satisfied, he or she may then submit an appeal petition to the Department of Teacher Education Petitions Committee requesting reconsideration of the decision.
Licensure Program Requirements
Each cohort encompasses one or more major licensure programs. Requirements of various programs follow; these apply equally to undergraduate and licensure-only students. Undergraduate students must also complete the basic university requirements, including the liberal education requirement, to graduate.
