INTEGRATED TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM (ITEP)
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (code 2-0333)
Multiple Subject Credential - Cross Cultural and
Academic Development Emphasis (code 200)
This new program was recommended by the Academic Senate on February
8, 2001
and approved by the President on March 28, 2001.
The Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) combines the study
of academic subjects aligned to California standards for the K-8
curriculum with professional preparation courses and field experiences
leading to a Multiple Subject Credential with a Cross-Cultural Language
and Academic Development (CLAD) emphasis.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive
both a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies and a preliminary Multiple
Subject Credential (CLAD). The B.A. portion of the program
satisfies the subject matter competence requirements of the California
Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) for multiple subject
teachers.
Within the Integrated Teacher Education Program there are 117 units
of required baccalaureate-level coursework and 27 units of credential-specific
coursework.
Students who complete the Core and Concentration courses, who have
completed at least 120 hours of approved Service Learning, and who
meet all other University requirements, but who do not advance to
the Credential portion of the program, will be eligible to receive
a B.A. in Liberal Studies with a Track I concentration and may apply
for admission to the post-baccalaureate Multiple Subject Credential
Program.
There are multiple pathways to the teaching profession. ITEP is
designed for students who begin their undergraduate education at
CSULB or who transfer into the University in pursuit of both a baccalaureate
degree as well as a Multiple Subject teaching credential. Prospective
credential candidates who already hold a bachelor's degree, or who
need information about other pathways and options in teacher credentialing,
should consult the CSULB Catalog for other program options
General Education and the Integrated Teacher Education Program
As with other Liberal Studies majors, students in the Integrated
Teacher Education Program have unique General Education requirements.
ITEP is not only an approved major, but an approved alternate general
education program. ITEP students receive their General Education
advisement within the Liberal Studies office. In completing ITEP,
students concurrently satisfy their general education requirements.
Students changing their major from ITEP to a major other than Liberal
Studies, however, will be subject to the standard University General
Education requirements and will want to consult the Academic Advising
Center for G.E. advising.
Accelerated ITEP The Four-Year Option
ITEP is designed so that it is possible for students to obtain
both their B.A. in Liberal Studies and their preliminary multiple
subject teaching credential is four calendar years. It is also possible
under specific conditions for students to obtain a guarantee that
they will complete the full ITEP curriculum in four calendar years.
To receive this guarantee students must meet specific academic criteria,
commit themselves to full-time study, and follow the approved four-year
curriculum sequence.
The ITEP Curriculum
The ITEP curriculum has several components. Students complete required
coursework in the ITEP Core, they choose and complete courses in
an ITEP Concentration, and they complete coursework in the methodology
of teaching, including student teaching. Admission to this final,
Credential portion of the program requires that students apply and
be accepted into the Multiple Subject Credential Program at CSULB.
In addition, a minimum of 120 hours of service learning, coordinated
by the SERVE Program in the College of Education, must be completed
prior to graduation.
Admission to the Multiple Subject Credential Program
Prior to completion of EDEL 300, ITEP students must be formally
admitted into the Multiple Subject Credential Program (MSCP) at
CSULB. Admission to the MSCP requires that the candidate: 1) purchase
the MSCP for ITEP Handbook; 2) complete EDEL 200 with a grade of
"B" or higher; 3) attempt the California Basic Educational Skills
(CBEST) examination; 4) attain a cumulative grade-point average
of at least 2.75; 5) submit a portfolio which includes a SERVE evaluation
as well as a typed personal statement describing why you have chosen
teaching as a career, what you hope to accomplish as a teacher,
and how you view the role of the teacher; 6) attend an interview
panel; 7) submit a negative tuberculosis skin test or chest X-ray
taken within the last three years.
