The Associate of Arts in Teaching in Elementary/Special Education Pre-K-12 is designed for those students preparing to transfer to a four-year institution in Maryland to obtain a baccalaureate degree and earn state teacher certification in elementary education or generic special education. The program has been articulated with all of the transfer programs in elementary education and special education in the state of Maryland and makes degree holders eligible to transfer to the four-year institution with full junior status. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a total of 45 hours of field experience in a variety of educational settings. Degree students must complete all course work with a grade of “C” or better, obtain a minimum 2.75 GPA, submit a professional portfolio, and earn a passing score on a basic skills test of high school level reading, writing, and math (PRAXIS I, SAT, ACT, or GRE).

* The Introduction to Special Education course required by Hagerstown Community College is a necessary requirement for the College’s A.A.T. Degree in Elementary/Generic Special Education Pre-K-12 Degree, but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course requirements for four-year teacher education programs. Students may be required to take additional special education or inclusion courses as a part of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree and teacher education certification at four-year institutions.

Students who have been convicted of child abuse, sexual abuse of a minor, or crimes of violence are precluded from employment in the field of teaching. Please discuss concerns with your advisor.
