Early Teaching Experience

In August, prior to the senior year, all candidates seeking licensure participate in an early teaching experience on a full-time basis. This experience provides an opportunity for direct involvement in the opening of school when classroom routines and procedures are established. Candidates seeking licensure are expected to assume some teaching responsibilities.

Graduate summer admittance

Candidates who satisfactorily complete all Senior Block courses, to include the Practicum experience, and are eligible to enroll in the Teaching Internship (EDEP-670) may gain provisional graduate admittance for study in summer session prior to the completion of the teaching internship. Successful completion of all Senior Block courses is required before students are allowed to enroll in graduate level courses.
