*1 ENG 475 is only offered in fall semesters, and ENG 485 is only offered in the spring. Therefore, if you
took 475 in Fall 2014, then you’ll need ENG 485 in SP15 (if you didn’t take it last spring).
*2 SPC 461 is only offered in fall semesters. If you didn’t take it this fall, you’ll need it in FA15.
*3 If you have completed the majority of your English coursework, including literary theory (ENG 301/495),
then you may register to take your English Senior Seminar (ENG 497A) a semester earlier. Most
students in our program take the Senior Seminar in the final semester before full-time student teaching.
*4 The optional courses for the Middle School endorsement (EPFR 415 and then CI 407) must be taken in
sequence and can be completed efficiently in the summer. EPFR 315 (Educational Psychology) and
EPFR 320 (Multicultural Society) are prerequisites for EPFR 415 (the Middle School Learner). Illinois
policies are under revision and may not be available as they are listed here; therefore, be sure to
discuss the Middle School endorsement option with La Cheryl Lewis, the Secondary Education Advisor:

CI 315A Student Profile Sheet and Application for Fall 2015 Field Placements
The information that you present in the next two pages constitutes your CI 315A Student Profile
Sheet (CI 315A = two-credit, pre-student teaching course that also includes observation hours in
regional schools). Fill in the course number and an intelligible course title for each required course.
Some of the English special topics course titles are confusing to outsiders, so simplify when
necessary—i.e., use a general title, such as Topics in Early American Literature for English 211,
rather than a specific subtitle about American Identities (or whatever!). You will submit the twopage profile to School of Education Student Services (1110 Founders Hall; 618-650-3940) with
other materials associated with your CI 315A Application for your Fall 2015 school placements.
See the School of Education’s website for the CI 315A Application, which also serves as your
official application to the SOE’s Secondary Education Program. The application will be available in
January at the beginning of the academic year: http://www.siue.edu/education/field.shtml. If you do
not pass English student teacher screening, then the English Department will pull your CI 315A
Application. You will have the opportunity to screen again and to reapply for CI 315A in a later
semester (based on whatever conditions the English Education Committee assigns to your case).

Delete this text, and then respond to the School of Education’s first prompt. This brief student
resume—aka Student Profile Sheet—may be viewed by the superintendent, principal, or
cooperating teacher. Keep the entire document to two pages (two-page maximum for the whole
document, including the above course information lists and these two responses). Proofread
your responses carefully. English student teacher candidates have been turned down for
placements due to poorly phrased sentences and sloppily edited prose.
