Effective Teachers are Effective People.
This office
is responsible for the admission of students to professional education
programs at Eastern. In addition, it processes certification applications
for teachers and school personnel (principals, supervisors, superintendents,
counselors, pupil personnel directors, business administrators, librarians,
and speech pathologists). All students seeking initial teacher certification,
regardless of the college in which they are enrolled, must meet the requirements
for admission to professional education, complete an approved teaching
curriculum, and pass the required PRAXIS tests as determined by the major/minor
to be recommended for certification.
Students are
advised to enroll in EDF 103, Introduction to Education, during their
freshman year and in EDF 203, Schooling and Society, during their sophomore
year. However, students should not enroll in EDF 103 until all developmental
requirements have been met. EDF 310 will be required for students who
have an equivalent transfer course for EDF 203.
The Office
of Teacher Education Services will process the formal "Application
for Admission to Professional Education." The Professional Education Admissions
Committee will review applications, supporting documentation, and other
relevant materials brought before the committee and will take appropriate
action concerning the student's admission to the teacher education program.
The student will be notified of the committee's decision.
