TRANSITION TO MASTER'S: Students enrolled in the Mid-Level
certification-only program can use 12 semester credit hours from
the
certification coursework towards the Master of Education in Teaching degree. You
must reapply to the graduate school and meet
appropriate
admission
requirements to change to the M.Ed.T. program.
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.
