Program of Work
Click here to download Program of Work planning document. 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 degree.
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
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. Orientations for the practicum are set for August and December. Please email the Program Director for specific dates.
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. See Program of Work planning document for other details.
