Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Plan Core Subjects EC-6 (Early Childhood Concentration)
Play a Key Role in a Child's Educational Development
If you're interested in changing professions and you've always had a passion for helping children learn, consider University of Houston-Clear Lake's Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Plan Core Subjects EC-6. Whatever your previous professional background may have been, your experience brings additional value to your classroom. Research shows that the experiences children have during pre-school and early childhood education can have a formative and lasting effect on their educational development. You'll receive excellent preparation for a career as an early childhood educator in schools and child-related agencies like hospitals, mental health agencies and associated fields.
Engage, Instruct and Inspire Students of All Ages
Your certification with early childhood concentration in core subjects EC-6 will equip you to teach all core subjects in an elementary or middle school classroom. Your coursework prepare you for certification and to become an effective, creative classroom teacher. You’ll demonstrate the organizational and communication skills you acquired in your previous career to students and parents. No two days will be the same, and you’ll see you have entered the most interesting, challenging career of your life.
Although it is not necessary for students holding at least a bachelor's degree and seeking initial teacher certification to pursue a second bachelor's degree, those who wish to do so must meet the university's lower-level requirements in addition to the requirements for both teacher certification and the second degree, unless such requirements were met through the completion of the first bachelor's degree. These lower-level requirements are described in the Core section of the catalog.
