ACCEPTANCE INTO THE CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
As an undergraduate candidate seeing a North Carolina “Initial” Teaching Licensure, you must be accepted into
the Teacher Education Program prior to student teaching. It is important that you recognize admittance
requirements early in your program of study so that you work to maintain the level of performance required to
gain acceptance into the Teacher Education Program.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR ACCEPTANCE INTO THE TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
STEP 1: You will complete the Teacher Education Application through the TK20 Online System
(https://tk20.campbell.edu/campustoolshighered/start.do) NOTE: Students will be issued passwords for this
system. Faculty will train and assist students in the use of the TK20 system.
STEP 2: Your GPA must be 2.5 and you must have earned a “C” or better in each content area course and
each education course.
STEP 3: You must pass PRAXIS I if your ACT/SAT scores are not high enough to waive this
requirement. If you take the PRAXIS make sure to send Campbell and the North Carolina Department of Public
Instruction score reports. The passing scores for PRAXIS I are listed below plus ACT/SAT scores which will
waive all or parts of the PRAXIS:

STEP 4: Upload into TK20 “Document Room a content area paper or project which earned a grade of
“A” or “B” from the course instructor. Include a scanned copy with the instructor’s comments. Your
electronic copy of the paper should include the corrections suggested by the instructor.
NOTE: The purpose of the content paper/product is to demonstrate to faculty and external reviewers
that you understand content in a deep and broad manner. It should NOT discuss or be an “education”
topic. You will upload 1) the “graded” content paper/product; and, 2) the “corrected” content
paper/product.
STEP 5: Upload a reflective essay in which you explain how the chosen content paper/product demonstrates
your ability to think critically in the field of study. The essay should be at least one page in length.
NOTE: This reflective essay should NOT discuss the “how”, “why’s” or “what’s” of teaching, but
should reflect how this product/project demonstrates your content knowledge within the field of study.
Remember, you must demonstrate to us that you have a deep understanding of content!
