All students completing the degree will successfully complete a fifteen-week internship under the supervision of qualified university and school district personnel. Placements are based on the program s recommendations. Careful consideration is given to all placements by the student teaching coordinator. Application for student teaching is made the semester prior to the experience. Review of the application process is done in MAE 4940 which is taken the semester prior to student teaching.
Student teaching is a fall or spring semester experience.
Placements are not available during the summer. Applications from students with a GPA less than 2.5 but greater than 2.4 will be tentatively accepted and placements made pending the achievement of a 2.5 GPA by the end of the semester. It is expected that all math education and professional education courses will be completed by the student teaching semester. In approved situations a student may teach and return to complete one mathematics course. This must be approved by the program.
