The Teacher Education Program

[second paragraph]

The elementary program is divided into four semesters of study starting in the first semester of the junior year (60 semester hours) and upon acceptance into the teacher education program.  Application packets for the teacher preparation program are available in the Office of Student Services along with a listing of assigned advisers.  Field experiences include assignments for two semesters in EC-8 public and private school classrooms, according to the certification levels selected (EC-6 or 4-8).  Field experience assignments are in pre-arranged collaborating area schools.  Student teaching is done the final semester and involves working full days for one semester.  Student teaching begins the day school begins, spring or fall, rather than when university classes begin.

 

Degree Plans

[first sentence]

Students declaring EC-6, 4-8, 8-12 or EC-12 Interdisciplinary Studies as a major should schedule an appointment with a College of Education adviser to plan and develop a draft degree plan.
