Re: Coy's Major
Your summary is correct. Are you asking a question? ;-) :lol:
I don't know much about the elementary education major but I have not heard anything negative about it. Sharon Iorio is the dean; she previously was an associate dean in LAS and she deserves high marks.
The secondary education major at WSU is very good. You can see the secondary education majors at http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=coedhome&p=/programs. The appropriate departments outside the College of Education (i.e. Art, Biology, Chemistry, Geology & Physics (Earth and Space Science), English, MCLL (Foreign Language), History & Political Science (History / Government), Elliott School (Journalism), Math/Stat (Math), Music, Physics, Speech and Theater) usually have a "coordinator" who works with the College of Education (C&I?) to coordinate programs and help students. One example is former Kansas Teacher of the Year Sandra Peer. "Wal-Mart announced that Sandra Peer, a former mathematics teacher at Wichita High School Northwest and now an instructor at Wichita State University, has been named Teacher of the Year in Kansas in the 12th annual Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club State Teacher of the Year program. Peer was honored at a ceremony at the high school today, and in her honor the school received a $10,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation." http://walmartstores.com/FactsNews/NewsRoom/6795.aspx Sandy is employed by both the Math/Stat Department and the College of Education with the large majority of her support from Math.
For Math/Science majors, the secondary education major has a slightly reduced set of major requirements compared with regular majors but students receive a good education in the major; some decide to go on to graduate school in the major rather than going directly into teaching. I am less familiar with the foreign languages but I have heard some good comments. (When you hear my German, you will understand why I am not a good judge of this area. :D )
