MA Education for Certified Teachers: Early Childhood Specialist P-3 (2nd NJ Certificate)

Fairleigh Dickinson University - United States

The Early Childhood – (P–3) Specialist program will prepare certified teachers to obtain the P-3 endorsement as they learn the latest research and instructional practices in early childhood education. This 36-credit Master of Arts program also includes courses leading to a supervisor’s certificate. Graduates will earn two different certificates (P-3 endorsement and a supervisor’s license) and increase their professional knowledge and potential for employment. Obtaining a supervisor’s license in New Jersey requires candidates to have a master’s degree and three (3) successful years of teaching. Presenting a standard teaching certificate or a passing score on the appropriate Praxis II exam are requirements of admission.Courses previously taken for an elementary certificate may be used towards the P-3 certification. They may not be used towards the MACT degree if they were previously part of a completed MA. Transcripts will be reviewed by the program director and the School of Education’s certification officer.
