L News Clackamas Prin Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2006 New degree program teaches art of teaching I Matthew Olson | The Clackamas Print The new Associate of Applied Sciences degree for Early Childhood and Family Studies will allow one year cer tificate students to continue at Clackamas to get the degree. “The students were going to PCC and Mt. Hood to fin ish up [their degree], now they can stay here,” said Department Head Dr. Patricia Mcllveen. “[It] will be in place as of the Fall Term.” The new Early Childhood Education and Family Studies program will expand upon the already existing one-year pro gram. The second year will implement five new classes, as well as restructure existing ECE and ED courses. Students will take more teach ing and education courses in the second year. These courses are designed to allow students to understand child growth up through the third grade. “They would be able to get in-charge positions in pre schools and child development centers,” Mcllveen said. The degree will provide graduates a wider range of job options. “[It will] qualify students to be teaching assistants at elemen tary schools,” said Mcllveen. “It will improve the care and education that our youngest citi zens receive.” “Twenty-five years of research points to the fact that, the more education the provider gets, the higher quality educa tion the child gets,” Mcllveen explained. The main strengths of the program are its hands-on expe rience and practicum courses, where students work in pre schools, day cares, and other early development programs. When asked about intern ships and practicum courses leading to job opportunities for students, Mcllveen said “It’s very possible.” The program is practical for students who are considering working with children up to eight years of age. Students who wish to become teachers might find the program reveals whether or not they can truly handle children, as the first and second years provide vital hands-on experience. The first year requires the students to complete 52 credits. The second year requires 41 to 42 more credits. To get the AAS, a total of 92 to 94 Credits are required. The program comes from Mcllveen’s desire to raise the level of education for “our youngest citizens [and] the stu dents were asking fer it!” All reports are taken from CCCi campus safety incident logs.
