Student Teaching for Graduates
A student seeking state certification through the Post-Baccalaureate Program will be required to complete on of the following:
- Enrollment in EDU 4496 Student Teaching (Early Childhood – Grade 4) and successfully complete twelve consecutive weeks of full days in an accredited school.
- Employed by an accredited school as a teacher of record in early childhood through grade 4 level with either a one year probationary certificate or emergency certificate.
- Two years experience in an accredited school as a teacher of record in early childhood through grade 4 level.
Due to the added responsibilities during student teaching, graduate students are discouraged from taking more than 6 graduate hours during their student teaching practicum. Students who wish to take over 6 graduate hours of coursework while student teaching will need the approval of the Graduate Education Coordinator.
