The BAE in early childhood education is available at all campuses. This program offers students a firm grounding in early childhood teaching and programming with special emphasis on community connectedness, technology integration, administration, policy analysis and advocacy related to young children and their families.
Students engage in field experiences and internships that align with their academic program. Graduates are recommended for the new Arizona birth-grade 3 teacher certification and a provisional endorsement to work with English language learners. Graduates desiring to teach in a public school, preschool, kindergarten or primary grades must pass the Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessments (AEPA) in both content area and professional knowledge to be certified to teach in Arizona.
