YEARS 3-4: PROFESSIONAL LEVEL REQUIREMENTS AND COURSES
Once you successfully complete the Pre-Teaching requirements and first two years of your degree, you will transition to the Professional Level (Years 3-4) of the program. See your advisor to discuss the timeline and next steps to prepare for the Professional Level.
During the Professional Level, you will begin a year-long practicum (Year 3) with a cohort of fellow students and begin foundational education courses. During year 4, you will advance to student teaching and take advanced coursework to prepare you for the classroom and getting your teaching license. Students will be placed in a local classroom and take in-person courses while completing student teaching.
