Licensure also requires successful completion of the Praxis II Assessments (formerly National Teacher’s Examination), including the Specialty Area test in English, according to minimum scores set by the Tennessee State Department of Education. Specific objectives include those stated for the major in Biblical Studies (page 47), those stated for the General Education core (page 85), and those stated for the professional education core common to all teacher education programs (page 133). The graduate should also be able: (1) to define the characteristics and role of the teacher of English; (2) to select, read, interpret, and evaluate literature in a variety of genres; (3) to identify and follow the steps for writing a literary research paper; (4) to demonstrate competency in the various methods of teaching English in the secondary school classroom. |
