STUDENT TEACHING INFORMATION
Department Standards
All students completing an educational endorsement must maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher for the last 45 graded credits. Students must also earn (prior to student teaching) a minimum grade of "C" in all required courses for certification.
Admission Requirements
Students may not enroll in education courses until they have been at least conditionally admitted into the Teacher Preparation Program. Please see the admission requirements for the Teacher Preparation Program.
Student Teaching (EDCS 442) is a by-permission-only course which must be completed full-time over the course of one quarter. Students must attend the seminar which accompanies the student teaching experience. The seminar will meet a total of 20 clock hours during the quarter, normally at a time other than school hours, and at a place designated by the University Field Supervisor.
All assignments for Student Teaching are made through the Office of Field Experiences.
In order to qualify for certification to teach in more than one specialization, students must meet all requirements as listed in the undergraduate catalog for each specialization. Students must demonstrate their competence by student teaching a full quarter for each specialization for which they wish to be endorsed.
