Checking In

Now that we're into mid-summer, it's extremely important to have your Praxis Core tests scheduled. If you have a voucher, get the test scheduled now. If you don't, you must get a hold of Jen Heid so we can get one ordered for you.

The Finance Office at UTTC is closed for business during the month of June so they can prepare for the end of the fiscal year on June 30. So if you requested a voucher within the month of June, we had to wait until July 1 (Friday) to request payment for your voucher. If you haven't contacted her yet, do so immediately.

There are still lots of questions about student teaching and wondering when you are going to student teach. These are all good questions and we will do everything we can to offer the courses you need that lead up to student teaching.

What we can't do for you is schedule the Praxis tests. This is 100% up to you. And you MUST pass at least two of the tests before you student teach (all 3 is even better). So make sure you allow enough time to take and pass the tests BEFORE you are scheduled to student teach.

You are all going to make phenomenal teachers and if we didn't believe in you, we wouldn't push you so hard. Unfortunately, there are rules beyond our control (like the Praxis tests) that have to be met in order for you to become a licensed teacher. Keep pushing!
