Elementary Education
Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.)

The Associate of Arts in Teaching/Elementary Education provides the opportunity for a seamless transfer to Maryland state and private colleges for an elementary education major. To receive the degree, students must have a 2.750 GPA, begin development of their professional teaching portfolio, and pass the Praxis I prior to the final Carroll term.  Praxis I (an assessment of high school reading, writing, and math skills) should be taken once general education requirements in English, math, and reading (if applicable) are satisfied or at the completion of 24 credit hours. It is the student's responsibility to request (from the Educational Testing Services) Praxis I scores be sent to the Records Office at Carroll Community College, Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and to the selected transfer colleges/universities. Students are encouraged to work with the Education faculty in planning course schedules.

"The Introduction to Special Education course required by Carroll Community College is a necessary requirement of the College's A.A.T. degree, but is not sufficient to meet all special education or inclusion course requirements for four-year teacher education programs. Students may be required to take additional special education or inclusion courses as a part of the requirements for a baccalareate degree and teacher education certification at four-year institutions."
