Senate Doc #3489S Approved 3/9/89 APC Document #21 Effective Date: Fall 1989 Certification Program in Foreign Languages (Kindergarten through Grade 12)* Students must complete the teacher certification track in French, German, or Spanish. Since the program is in transition from Foreign Language Certification (grades 9-12)* students must complete the Certification Program in Secondary Certification (grades 9 through 12) and see a member of the Education Department and the Department of Foreign Languages for additional requirements. *Pending approval of North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction. No catalog deletion; add above paragraph after Certification Program in Theatre Arts (Kindergarten through Grade 12). Rationale: A new certification program in Foreign Languages (K-12) is pending North Carolina State Department approval. As of 1990, or there about, there will no longer be certification in French, German, and Spanish (9-12). It will be replaced by French, German, and Spanish (K-12). However, SDPI has yet to adopt official competencies for this program. Since we have received preliminary competencies, we are currently advising students based on these competencies. Therefore, to ensure students will be prepared when program changes are official, we request this catalog addition. Page 2
