English is a second language and students with special needs. Each partner school is supported by a site professor from the university one day per week and by a master teacher/mentor, called a site coordinator, who supports teacher candidates through their entire internships. Assessment In 2000, Senate Bill 154 required all Colorado teacher education institutions to become performance based. PBA stands for performance based assessment. PBAs are created that correspond to many of the teacher education courses and concurrent practice in the series of internships. In doing so, knowledge can be evaluated as a result of coursework and performance in schools simultaneously. As teacher candidates progress through the program, they will be introduced to Performance Based Assessments (PBAs) and will be guided and supported in both course work and internships. Students seeking dual licensure are responsible for four additional PBAs associated with their second endorsement in Special Education. The PBAs are: 1. Literacy Instruction & Assessment (elementary and secondary versions) 2. Mathematics Instruction & Assessment (elementary) 3. Subject Matter Content (secondary) 4. Student Profile 5. Classroom Management 6. Teacher Work Sample (TWS) 7. Internship Performance Rubric (used at the end of each internship) Programs of Study Due to the complex nature of state mandated influences of teacher preparation courses and consistently evaluating our program to meet student needs, please see current programs of study in the teacher education handbook . Master's Degree Options The teacher education program design supports the concept of teacher education as an ongoing developmental process linking preservice, induction and ongoing professional growth experiences. Upon completion of the licensure portion of the program, beginning teachers continue working toward their master's degree (an additional 18-38 semester hours) in the areas of special education, educational psychology, content in English or history in collaboration with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, or curriculum and instruction with emphasis areas during their first or second year of teaching. This ensures that CU Denver's new teachers are provided with continuing support from the university while in their first few years of teaching. Requirements for Admission The program has two windows for admissions each semester. Summer admission deadlines are January 15 & February 15; Fall admission deadline is March 15 and April 15.
