Instructor Certification Requirements:
The preferred preparation for teaching Early College Experience English courses is a Master’s of Arts degree in English with at least some coursework in rhetoric and composition: specially courses directly related to the teaching of writing from a college or university English or Writing Department—not a School of Education.
The minimum degree requirement for teachers wishing to teach Early College Experience English courses is usually a Master’s of Arts degree in English; however, a candidate with Master’s in Education who has completed at least two graduate level English courses taken through a college or university English or Writing Department (one of which is in rhetoric and composition) may be considered.
Instructors looking to qualify for ENGL 3082: Writing Center Practicum must be eligible to teach ENGL 1007, or are currently certified to teach ENGL 1007 through UConn ECE and the partner school must currently have, or is planning to launch, a high school writing center. Instructors must attend UConn’s Secondary School Writing Centers Conference at least every other year, and preferably each year.
