PROGRAM OF WORK: Upon admission to the program, you will meet with your program director to create a program of work. This
will plot out what courses you will take each semester until you complete the program.

CERTIFICATION SEQUENCE: To be eligible to proceed to Student Teaching, Mid-Level students must have completed at least EDML 5308
and EDML 5328. These two courses are only offered in the fall semester.

Student Teaching: The last course required for certification is titled "Practicum". This is the semester when students do their Student Teaching.
   Partnerships with specific school districts and schools have been established to host UT Arlington Residents. We work closely with
   specific schools to build strong mentoring relationships between teachers and students, and therefore place all students in partner
   school settings. Students are not able to select the district or school for their placement.

FIELD APPLICATION DEADLINE: Students must apply for Student Teaching with the Office of Professional Development. Fall applications
are accepted between January 2 - March 1 and spring applications are accepted between September 1 - October 1.

CERTIFICATION: Candidates must pass all appropriate state exams and apply for appropriate state certifications with the State Board
for Educator Certification / Texas Education Agency within six months of the completion of their student teaching, internship, or practicum program. If a
candidate allows the six month period to go by without passing all state exams and applying for certification, additional coursework
and/or state exams will be required for recommendation for certification. Additional coursework will be determined by the appropriate
Program Director in consultation with the faculty.
