Undergraduate Group Advising Online Version TEACHER CERTIFICATION AT EMU Welcome! The College of Education at Eastern Michigan University has three offices that serve students pursuing initial teacher certification. The Office of Academic Services 206 Porter Building, 734.487.1416, http://www.emich.edu/coe/oas/index.html The Department of Teacher Education 313 Porter Building, 734.487.3260, http://www.emich.edu/coe/ted/ The Department of Special Education 128 Porter Building, 734.487.3300, http://www.emich.edu/coe/sped/ Some of the teaching majors and minors come from departments in other colleges at EMU, including the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Technology, and the College of Health and Human Services. History and Accreditation For over 150 years, EMU has played a major state and national role in the preparation of teachers and other school personnel. EMU was among the first institutions in the country to prepare physical education teachers and special education teachers. We currently offer programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degree levels. Our programs have received a number of national recognitions. We are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the Michigan Department of Education. In almost every instance where a program-specific national recognition exists, we hold this recognition. Many EMU alumni have won local, state, and national awards in the field of education. Eastern Michigan University has a long and distinguished history of preparing teachers and other educational professionals. Mission Statement for the College of Education at EMU The mission of the College of Education is to create an exemplary educational environment to develop the intellectual curiosity, creativity, critical and reflective thinking and problem solving abilities of its students so that they may become ethical, productive and contributing participants in a democratic society. CPED2S Conceptual Framework for the Initial Teacher Preparation Program at EMU Eastern Michigan University prepares: Caring, Professional Educators for a Diverse and Democratic Society Your professional education courses are designed around the CPED2S conceptual framework. They are designed to facilitate and develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions in becoming a caring, professional educator for a diverse and democratic society. Please read the CPED2S handbook at http://www.emich.edu/coe/oas/manuals.html. Some Advice on Advising Where Should I go for Advising? Professional advisors, in 206 Porter, are available to meet with any student pursuing teacher preparation. In addition, elementary education majors may wish to meet with faculty in the Department of Teacher Education (313 Porter, 734.487.3260). Special education majors may wish to meet with faculty in the Department of Special Education (128 Porter, 734.487.3300). Secondary and K-12 majors may wish to meet with faculty in their major/minor departments as well. Words of Advice Seek Advising: It is recommended that you see an advisor at least once a year. Some majors are assigned specific faculty advisors. Call your department to request an advisor or email your assigned advisor to schedule an appointment. Professional advisors are available to schedule by calling 734.487.1416 or visiting http://www.emich.edu/coe/forms/advisingsession-request-form.php. Plan Ahead: We register for summer and fall semesters in late March or early April and winter semester in late October or early November. Your goal is to be ready to register for classes prior to your scheduled registration time. Scheduling advising appointments a month or so ahead of registration is the easiest and most effective time. Attempting to schedule appointments with advisors in the very beginning or end of a semester (or the summer) can be tricky and frustrating. Take Notes: Take notes during your advising appointments. You should be able to check later and know who you met with, when you met with your advisor, what you discussed, and how to contact your advisor. You can also review notes taken by advisors on your ‘my.emich’ account under the ‘UG Advising Overview’ link. Get Organized: Get a binder or folder for organizing all of your advising, admission, pre-student teaching, and student teaching documents. This binder should be brought to all appointments along with this advising handbook. For an effective appointment, also bring a copy of your transcripts, materials to take notes with, and a list of questions or concerns that you would like addressed. Run an audit on your ‘my.emich’ account and review your preliminary audit in preparation prior to your advising appointment. You have professional advisors in 206 Porter.

An alterative score in one area may be accepted. A Dispositions Review from Curriculum. ADMISSION TO THE INITIAL TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM How to Calculate Your Grade Point Average in Your Major and Minor The following GPA calculator can be used to calculate your major GPA at EMU as long as you provide the credit hours and grades. See http://www.emich.edu/aac/GPAcalc.htm. Only count courses toward your major that were completed at EMU. Grades and GPAs do not transfer from other colleges, only courses do. 1. List the courses you completed at EMU in the major or minor you are computing. 2. Use the following chart to determine the grade points (sometimes called quality points or honor points) for each class. This is determined by multiplying the grade points times the number of credits for the class. GRADE A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DE 1 credit 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.3 1.0 0.7 0.0 2 credits 8.0 7.4 6.6 6.0 5.4 4.6 4.0 3.4 2.6 2.0 1.4 0.0 3 credits 12.0 11.1 9.9 9.0 8.1 6.9 6.0 5.1 3.9 3.0 2.1 0.0 4 credits 16.0 14.8 13.2 12.0 10.8 9.2 8.0 6.8 5.2 4.0 2.8 0.0 5 credits 20.0 18.5 16.5 15 13.5 11.5 10 8.5 6.5 5.0 3.5 0.0 3. Add all the grade points. Add all the credits of each class. Divide the number of grade points by the total number of credits. The result is your grade point average. Repeating Courses If a course is repeated, the new grade is used to compute your GPA—up to 2 repeats per class and 10 repeats total—the previous grade is not included in the average. Note, repeating classes can impact your eligibility for financial aid and academic standing. Consult with the Office of Financial Aid and an advisor before repeating a class more than once or if you have been unsuccessful in more than 1/3 of your classes. Continuance in the Program Continuance in the Initial Teacher Preparation Program requires that you continue to meet all Initial Teacher Preparation Program admission requirements and university continuance requirements. This includes maintaining a 2.5 GPA in your majors and a 2.0 GPA in your minors. Additionally, you must be a student in good standing at EMU and be successful in at least 67% of classes taken. If you begin to run into academic trouble, be sure that you are seeking advising. Also, if you are seeking financial aid, be sure to understand federal requirements concerning academic progress. General Education Program Education for Participation in the Global Community General Education is the core of an undergraduate education. It is general in that it provides students with a comprehensive educational experience and prepares them for study within their major. General Education teaches students to think critically and communicate effectively; it provides an introduction to the methodologies and practices of the academic disciplines; it promotes intellectual curiosity and a love of learning. General Education is the heart of an EMU education and source of institutional pride. Refer to the EMU Undergraduate Catalog at catalog.emich.edu for full details, including important Gen Ed policies. General Education Program requirements are included in the minimum 124 credit hours required to graduate. All courses are three (3) credit hours, unless indicated in parentheses (x).

PRE-STUDENT TEACHING Each student in the Initial Teacher Preparation Program is required to complete at least 100 clock hours of prestudent teaching field experience. Additional hours are required for some subjects. A guide to pre-student teaching field experiences can be found at http://www.emich.edu/coe/students/undergraduate. Pre-student teaching is an important part of your preparation to become a teacher because it: Helps you develop as a professional and prepares you for student teaching. Is necessary in order to complete some of the assignments in your professional education courses. Allows you to gain important experience working with children in grades K-12. Allows you to work with professional teachers in your subject area(s). Helps you to confirm that teaching is the right profession for you. Requirements 1. You will need to earn at least 100 clock hours of pre-student teaching field experience in order to qualify for student teaching. Additional hours required for some subjects. 2. The clock hours must be no more than three years old at the time you start student teaching. 3. A minimum of observation in two different classrooms is required; one of the classrooms must be multicultural or urban. 4. A minimum of 50 hours are required in your elementary or secondary major. Additional hours can be from other age appropriate, structured learning environments like: tutoring, coaching, scouting, recreational programs, substitute teaching, and school activities. 5. Students majoring in special education will complete a minimum of 150 hours. The hours will be divided as follows: 50 hours in a general elementary classroom, 50 hours in a special education elementary classroom, and 50 hours in a secondary special education classroom. 6. Hours will be documented on the Pre-student Teaching Field Experiences Verification Form found inside and outside of 206 Porter or in 313 Porter or at http://www.emich.edu/coe/oas/forms.html. If Special Education, will be documented on an “orange card” found in 128 Porter. 7. The completed Pre-student Teaching Field Experiences Verification Form or orange card will be submitted to the Office of Academic Services (206 Porter) when you are ready to register for student teaching. Practicum (PRCT) Information 1. Contact the Department of Teacher Education (313 Porter, 734.487.3260) to gain registration permission before you register for your practicum (PRCT) classes. 2. Questions about the PRCT courses should be directed to the Department of Teacher Education (313 Porter, 734.487.3260). 3. Questions about pre-student teaching requirements outside of PRCT can be directed to the Office of Academic Services (206 Porter, 734.487.1416). STUDENT TEACHING Student teaching is the capstone experience in the Initial Teacher Preparation Program. It is an intensive internship. Students apply for student teaching 7-8 months in advance of their student teaching semester. Applications are available online at http://www.emich.edu/coe/oas/forms.html. Submit completed applications to the Office of Academic Services (206 Porter, 734.487.1416). Basic Information Applications for FALL semester student teaching are due by the previous JANUARY 15th. o Additional materials are due AUGUST 1st. Applications for WINTER semester student teaching are due by the previous JUNE 15th. o Additional materials are due DECEMBER 1st. ALL professional education courses and all courses requiring a “C” or higher prior to student teaching must be completed. You can student teach if you have one class remaining from your major or minor. You may not student teach if you have more than one class remaining. While you can take a course in your major or minor during or after student teaching, it is not recommended. Student teaching is a very time-intensive experience. Additionally, any class taken during the student teaching semester cannot interfere with student teaching. You can take no more than 15 credits during your student teaching semester. You will be asked to list three school districts for the purpose of placement. You may not arrange your own student teaching placement. You may not student teach in a school where you were previously a student or where a relationship with school staff members, students, or board members would impact your evaluation. The evaluation process needs to be fair and objective. Students with special needs should contact the Disability Resourse Center (240I Student Center, 734.487.2470) and the Assistant Dean for Field Placement (206 Porter, 734.487.1416) before the beginning of the student teaching semester. The final decision for placement in student teaching is made by the College of Education at EMU. Student teachers must provide a recent copy of their criminal history record from the state of Michigan. Regular Placement Districts Include: Addison, Adrian, Ann Arbor, Belleville, Chelsea, Dearborn, Detroit, Dexter, Downriver (i.e. Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Lincoln Park, Riverview, Rockwood, Southgate, Trenton, Woodhaven, Wyandotte), Fenton, Garden City, Grass Lake, Hartland, Howell, Inkster, Jackson, (Ypsilanti) Lincoln, Manchester, Milan, Monroe, Pinckney, Plymouth-Canton, Romulus, South Lyon (elementary), Taylor, Tecumseh, Utica, Walled Lake, Wayne- Westland, Whitmore Lake, and Ypsilanti. Limited Placement Districts Include: Bedford, Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Brighton, Carmen Ainsworth, Clarkston, Clarenceville, Dearborn Heights, Dundee, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Fenton, Ferndale, Flint, Hazel Park, Hur on Valley, Jonesville, Livonia, Mt. Clemens, Northville, Novi, Pontiac, Rochester, Romeo, Saline, Southfield, South Lyon (secondary), Troy, Van Dyke (Chippewa Valley), Warren Consolidated, Warren Woods, Waterford, West Bloomfield, Redford Union, South Redford, Traverse City, Royal Oak, and Lamphere. Charter Schools (limited placements): Academy for Business and Technology, Ann Arbor Learning Community, Canton Charter Academy, EdisonOakland Academy, Grand Blanc Academy, Great Lakes Academy, and South Arbor Academy. EMU seeks student teaching placement sites that have a rich and dynamic academic and institutional environment. The College of Education, through the Office of Academic Services, identifies student teaching placement sites by evaluating areas that support schools, teachers, and children. Diversity, highly qualified teachers, a high level of parent involvement, and commitment to improved student achievement are only a few of the factors that comprise a quality student teaching placement. Student teaching placements are based upon the potential for pre-service growth and development of the EMU student teacher. Public, charter, alternative, and non- traditional sites will be considered based upon the suitability of a placement to enhance skills learned throughout EMU’s Initial Teacher Preparation Program. EMU is primarily interested in sites where multiple student teachers can be placed each semeste r. CHECK LIST FOR PROGRAM COMPLETION 1) Apply to EMU as an undergraduate student.

The deadline to apply for Fall student teaching is January 15th and the deadline to apply for Winter student teaching is June 15th 13) Complete a self-audit throughout your time at EMU. This is found in your my.emich.edu account. Click on the Student tab, the Student Records tab, and then on UG Degree Audit. This step should be done repeatedly throughout your program. 14) Take the appropriate subject area test for your major(s)/minor(s). A good time to take these tests is the last semester of your professional education courses (i.e. right before students teaching). Registration information and study guides are available at www.mttc.nesinc.com. The catalog contains information on which test(s) you will need to take. All elementary and elementary special education majors take test #103 (Elementary Education) in addition to other subject area tests. Secondary education, secondary special education, and K-12 majors take tests in both their major and minor. 15) Apply for Graduation as soon as you have registered for your final semester. This should be your student teaching semester. The application can be found in your my.emich.edu account. Log on to my.emich.edu, click on the Student Services Tab, click on Student Records, click on Apply to Graduate, and follow the instructions. Please note: you must apply for your teaching certificate separately. 16) Visit the University Advising and Career Development Center (200 McKenny Hall, 734.487.0400) if you need assistance with a job search, résumé preparation, or interviewing skills. EMU’s University Advising and Career Development Center hosts a job fair for teachers each April. See www.emich.edu/uacdc/ in February for more information. 17) Meet MDE Certification requirements in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. Current certification is required at the time you are recommended for your teaching certificate. Submit Adult and Child CPR and First Aid certification cards to Records and Registration (303 Pierce, 734.487.4111). Certification must be earned from a Michigan Department of Education approved provider. 18) Submit a Recommendation Semester Statement of Civil/Criminal Conviction in your final semester. This form will ask civil and criminal history questions and will be signed at the end of student teaching. The Michigan Department of Education can deny teacher certification based on civil/criminal convictions. 19) Apply for Certification using the Michigan Online Educator Certification System (MOECS). Visit www.michigan.gov/moecs to create an account, register, and apply for certification through the State of Michigan. After review and approval you will receive an email with a link to pay the fee online. Once the fee is paid and approval is given you will receive your certificate in the mail. 20) Continue your Education, as appropriate, to maintain a provisional teaching certificate or earn a professional certificate. For questions, the Michigan Department of Education can be contacted at 517.373.3310. See also www.michigan.gov/mde or https://mdoe.state.mi.us/teachercert/ to check your certification status. Information on continuing certification is also available at http://www.emich.edu/coe/students/cont_cert/index.html.
