A.A.T Graduates
Welcome to the education programs in the Department of Early and Elementary Education, housed in the Seidel School of Education at Salisbury University. Our faculty and staff members are committed to preparing prospective teachers and we look forward to working with you. Best wishes as you prepare to enter the teaching profession!
Our work is guided by a conceptual framework centered on knowledge, skills and dispositions, critical for today’s educators to promote student success. You can find information about our Conceptual Framework’s specific themes and associated learning outcomes here.
As a teacher candidate majoring in Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education, you are expected to complete a rigorous program of study which meets state and national standards. This program is accredited by the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation and approved by the Maryland State Department of Education for elementary school teacher certification (Grades 1-6) and early childhood certification (Grades Pre-K-3). Candidates who successfully complete our requirements graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Department of Teacher Education in the Seidel School of Education.
We encourage you to carefully review all information in the AAT Quick Links. Although you are expected to meet regularly with your assigned faculty advisor to discuss your progress, you are responsible for meeting all education program requirements, as well as the general requirements outlined in the University Catalog.
