Educational Curriculum and Instruction

Prerequisites for admission to Education courses: Any student may schedule EDFL 106 (or its honors equivalent, EDFL 207), EDFL 201, or SPED 300. All teacher Education majors should schedule EDCI 100 during their freshman year, preferably their first semester. However, registration for other “Education” courses (EDCI, EDFL, IRED, READ, or SPED above 200-level) will be limited to persons who have completed EDFL 106 (formerly 105) with a grade of C or better and who have formally applied for and been admitted to the Professional Program in Teacher Education.

All methods courses will require field experiences. The number of hours required will vary from course to course. It is recommended that students schedule their classes each semester with three to six hours available during K-12 school hours each week to accomplish the required field experience.
