Teacher Education Program (TEP)

Requirements for Admission

Students should plan to be fully admitted to the Teacher Education Program (TEP) by the end of their sophomore year in order to proceed optimally through the program.

The following must be accomplished before admission to TEP:

• Completion of 13 units of study

• GPA of at least 2.5

• Completion of ED 201 (Introduction to Education)

• Completion of an Exploratory Teaching Interim experience

• Passage of the APTTP (Basic Skills Test)

• Background check (will be discussed in Exploratory Teaching)

• Writing sample (See Mrs. McLafferty for this prior to your TEP interview.)

• Interview with education faculty to discuss your admission to TEP. Your eportfolio (begun in ED 201) will be assessed at this time.

While these criteria are being met, students may take education courses that do not require TEP admission as a prerequisite, but students are not allowed to have more than FIVE education courses before admission to TEP.
