The Three Semester Block program is focused on excellence in the preparation of teachers who will become highly effective professionals ready to meet the challenges and to find the joys of teaching diverse student populations in today's schools.
First Semester - 15 units
Second Semester - 15 units
Third Semester - 17 units
• The 3 SB program may be started in the fall or spring and can be completed
in three semesters.
• Required multiple subject credential classes for the first and second
semester begin at 4 pm and 7 pm two nights per week.
This provides the students with the opportunity to work during the
day and attend classes in the evening.
3 SB is a demanding program and it is suggested students only work
part-time.
• An Advanced Community Field Experience in the second semester
of the program provides students the opportunity to work in classrooms
six hours per week (72 hours total). This requirement precedes student
teaching.
• Student teaching is a full-time commitment in the last semester.
Students work in a classroom 5 days a week, everyday, all day for a 12-week
period and must also complete a Teaching Event. It is highly recommended
students not work during their last semester.
• The Three Semester Block team works closely with the students to help
provide a successful experience.
