As a teaching major, you will be working closely with children and youth as a part of your field experiences and student teaching. Therefore, the UNI Teacher Education Program requires that you attend such a training session before your first field experience. Sessions are provided at the beginning of each semester for students who have not received this training. Prior to student teaching, UNI teaching majors should receive instruction providing their responsibilities as mandatory reporters of child abuse. Such training of teachers is mandated by state law.
Students completing the seminar receive a certificate that is good for five years.
Announcements of dates and times will be made by the Teacher Education Professor Contacts in each department.
