During your sophomore year, usually when enrolled in EDU 260, you should complete the following requirements to be officially accepted into the teacher education program:
PortfolioAll students seeking teacher licensure are required to construct and maintain a professional development portfolio using i-webfolio software. The portfolio will be reviewed three times: at admission to the teacher education program (EDU 260), at approval for student teaching, and at the conclusion of the student teaching semester. Criminal Background CheckAll students enrolled in teacher education programs must submit appropriate documentation to allow the college to conduct a criminal background check prior to EDU/EXS 320 Clinical Block and again prior to student teaching. The criminal background check is completed to insure that all students enrolled in the program meet the same employment standards as professional staff in the districts in which clinical experiences are completed and to verify each student’s eligibility for licensure upon completion of student teaching. Off-Campus ProgramsStudents in teacher education programs area encouraged to consider participating in an off-campus program during their undergraduate years. A number of programs offered through Ripon College will enrich the experience of a student planning to teach. Among the offerings are: the ACM Urban Studies Program, the ACM Chicago Semester in the Arts, any ACM foreign study program, the Bangor, Wales Education Program (Described below.), the Washington, D.C. Semester in Educational Policy Studies, or any one of the Maymester travel courses offered through Ripon College. |
