Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
APC Document 60: Delete EDUC 313 from required courses for
6-9 Social Studies licensure;
Clarify requirement of the
Humanities sequence for Social Studies licensure
Effective Date: Fall 2007
1. Delete: On pg
112, under Middle School Licensure, in item I:
Social
Studies students must take EDUC 130, 313, and 380.
Add: On pg 112, in place of deleted
entry:
Social
Studies students must take EDUC 130 and 380.
Impact:
Social Studies candidates will have 3 fewer hours
required for them to get licensed in middle grades education.
Rationale:
EDUC 313 is Adolescent Literature. Adolescent
Literature is not a state standard for social studies licensure candidates. It
IS a standard for language arts licensure.
2. Add: On pg
112, under Middle School Licensure, in item II, after "Social Studies-9
hours....POLS 220.
State standards for
Language Arts and Social Studies licensure are met by
completion of the ILS Core Cluster in Humanities (HUM
124, 214 and 324). Students
transferring to UNC Asheville must either take these
courses, or have completed
courses at other institutions that satisfy the
required standards.
Impact:
This clarifies the Humanities courses (or courses
fulfilling the required competencies) are required for middle grade licensure
candidates.
Rationale:
Humanities courses (or courses fulfilling the
required competencies) are part of the licensure program requirements. Because
they are part of the core curriculum, they were not placed in this section. By
including these courses, transfer students see that an additional 12 hours of
content courses may be required for 6-9 language arts and social studies
licensure.
