Education Minor Courses

Mandatory Events/Sessions

School Placements and Student Teaching

Detailed information about your classroom placements and student teaching can be found on the School and Community Experiences website.

This information will also be broadly covered in your induction meeting after being admitted to the program.

Content Tests and Fees

Licensure

Endorsements 

Endorsements are additional areas someone is licensed to teach.

They are needed to teach a content area and/or to teach AP courses in that content. 

  •  Example 1: If you have a Biology endorsement, you can teach any science, but you can ONLY teach AP Biology, NOT AP Chemistry.
  • Example 2: If you teach English but would also like to be able to teach History, you would need an History endorsement. 

Specific questions about endorsements should be directed to the Council on Teacher Education.
