SECONDARY TEACHER CERTIFICATION. Cedarville College is not approved to offer programs leading to certification for students who wish to teach at the high school level. The college does participate in a cooperative program with nearby Central State University. In this program a student may reside on the Cedarville campus, take advantage of the Christian emphasis and fellowship, yet take the necessary courses at Central State which lead to certifi– cation. Both institutions grant degrees upon successful completion of the program. Additional information may be received from the chairman of the Division of Education and Psychology. ELEMENTARY TEACHER CERTIFICATION. Certification at this level includes grades one through eight. The elementary certification may be validated for kindergarten upon successful completion of nine quarter hours in kinder– garten methods and materials. Students who complete the program leading to Ohio provisional ele– mentary certificate will be able to seek certification in most states. Specific requirements may be determined by writing the chairman of the division or state departments of education. Opportunities for young people looking toward elementary education are many. Young men may find this field particularly rewarding. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROVISIONAL ELEMENTARY CERTIFICATES. The candidate must meet all the general education requirements of the col– lege.
