Our department has worked with the Virginia Department of Education to establish an approved program for JMU graduates to become endorsed to teach Algebra I in addition to their initial licensure area.
Any student who is interested in the Algebra I Add-on (AAO) will need to have credit (either by taking the course at JMU or by transfer credit) for the following courses:
- MATH 110 – Mathematics for Elementary and Middle School Teachers I
- MATH 111 – Mathematics Seminar for Elementary and Middle School Teachers
- MATH 210 – Mathematics for Elementary and Middle School Teachers II
- MATH 304 – Principles of Algebra
- MATH 305 – Principles of Geometry
- MATH 307 – Principles of Probability and Statistics
Together, these courses total 18 credits and make up the Mathematics for Elementary & Middle Grades Teachers Minor. In addition the following grade requirements must be met:
- C– or better in each of the above courses, or in a course which substitutes for one of the above courses.
- 2.75 or better cumulative GPA for all the math courses that are required for the AAO.
Any student meeting the above requirements should work with personnel in the Education Support Center to ensure accurate licensure.
