All students must pass the appropriate content area test(s) prior to beginning student teaching. Documentation of passing this test must be on file with the College of Education Dean's Office by the end of the semester immediately preceding Student Teaching. For this reason it is important that students pay special attention to the date that test results are reported. Consult your advisor about the proper time to take these tests.
