Department of English
English Education
B.A. in English High School Teaching
The
major, "English--High School Teaching," is one of two 30 hour-free standing
majors offered by the UNCG English Department. The other is "English."
Both lead to the B.A. degree; however, the English-Education program leads
to a degree plus a license issued by the State of North Carolina
to teach English in Grades 9-12 in the State of North Carolina and other
states which honor the certificate.
The English Education program is jointly supervised by the English Department and the Department
of Curriculum and Instruction in the School
of Education . Heading the program in the Department of English
is Director of English Education, Jeanie Reynolds (3106). Coordinating
the program in Curriculum and Instruction is Sherri Merritt (306 Curry).
The Academic Advisors are all full-time members of the English Department,
and departmental policies for English Education are set by an English
Education Committee.
Like all other teacher education programs at UNCG, the English Education
program is overseen by the Teachers
Academy of the University, which is concerned with all university
policies relating
to teacher education. The English Education program is regularly
reviewed by the State Department of Public Instruction, by the National
Council of Teachers of English, and by the National Council for the Accreditation
of Teacher Education.
