The Early Childhood Generalist Endorsement may be added to the Early Childhood License. The completion of this endorsement (3 courses) and passing the appropriate state licensure exam will allow those pursuing the Early Childhood License (PreK-3) or those already holding the license to add grades four and five to their teaching credentials. The program is a cognate area in the M.A.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. For those who already have a master’s degree in education, the endorsement can be earned by taking the endorsement only courses (listed below).
