JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - Fifty-two education
majors at Missouri Southern State college are engaging in their student
teaching "professional semester" in the teacher education
program. The experience is one of the requirements for graduation with a
Bachelor of Science degree in education (BSE).
All of the teacher candidates will be in classrooms for ten
weeks under the supervision of a certified teacher. The student teachers
meet rigorous admission standards. They must have a minimum 2.75
cumulative Grade Point Average and a 2.5 GPA in their majors; pass all
sections of a comprehensive core curriculum exam covering areas such as
social studies, math, language arts and other areas; receive a
recommendation from a faculty member outside the teacher education
program; have an ACT of 20 or higher; and write an autobiography.
Students apply for tentative admission at the beginning of their
junior year and then they apply for the student teaching experience at
the beginning of their senior year. The student teaching semester is the
culminating experience and all course work must be completed.
One of the largest teacher education programs in the state,
Southern has a performance-based teacher education program. Candidates
must demonstrate mastery of the teacher education program standards,
such as well-developed lesson plans and classroom management skills.
