Multiple Subject Programs
The Multiple Subject Teacher Preparation Program is offered in a variety of formats called "blocks" including traditional full-time blocks over two semesters, a seven-month accelerated block, and a three or four semester part-time block. Full-time student teaching is required of all candidates according to state law. Our programs combine coursework and student teaching to link theory and practice. The curriculum emphasizes the preparation of reflective practitioners to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children. Most blocks are based at local elementary schools where we have established partnerships with schools and teachers. In these blocks, student teachers take their university coursework on-site at the elementary school and student teach at that school or in neighboring schools. Each student completes student teaching in two different grade levels; one assignment is at the primary level (in grades K-3) and another is at the intermediate level (in grades 4-6). Please refer to the current Multiple Subject application for a listing of offerings and descriptions of the blocks or click here. Not all blocks begin each term.

Single Subjects Programs
The Single Subject Credential Program is offered in "block" format either on a full-time basis over two semesters or on a part-time (three to six-semester) basis. Full-time student teaching is required of all candidates according to state law. Approximately 50% of the total program is devoted to student teaching. The student teaching assignment represents a commitment of three periods a day in a local public school with the possible addition of an administrative assignment at the same site. Students may be required to remain with their placement for the public school semester, which can be three to four weeks longer than the university term.
The part-time courses are generally offered in the late afternoon and early evening. Student teaching assignments do require a day-time commitment and will be scheduled according to individual need in consultation with the program coordinator.
Our programs combine coursework and student teaching to link theory and practice. The curriculum emphasizes the preparation of reflective practitioners to meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children. Each student completes student teaching in two different grade levels; one assignment is at the middle school level (in grades 7/8) and another is at the high school level (in grades 9-12).
