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.

SEQUENCE: To be eligible to proceed to practicum, Secondary and All-Level students must have completed at least three of the 
following: EDUC 5310, EDUC 5314, EDUC 5329, and LIST 5326 or LIST 5345.

PRACTICUM: The last course required for certification is a practicum/residency course. This is when candidates do 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 practicum 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: Students must pass all appropriate state exams and apply for appropriate state certification with the State Board
for Educator Certification/Texas Education Agency within six months of the completion of their program. If a student 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.
