TEACHER EDUCATION OVERVIEW
The Education Department delivers courses in the professional education sequence required of all teaching majors. In addition, the department delivers the Business Education major, the Training and Development certificate program, and the Training and Development minor.
 As a department, we seek to integrate into pre-service teacher education the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions necessary to be an effective educator. This includes (1) a philosophy of education; (2) knowledge of the individual learner; (3) understanding of the opportunities, objectives, and responsibilities of schooling in a democratic society; (4) practice toward teaching effectively; and (5) the professionalism to work with others as leaders in promoting continual improvement of schools.
 Teacher education program requirements outlined under each major are subject to change as Minnesota Board of Teaching licensure rules change. Students should check with their program advisor and the advising website (www.winona.edu/education/advising) regularly for current program/licensure requirements.

PASS/NO CREDIT (P/NC) COURSES
Except for internships and practica, students must take all courses in the major, minor, certificate, and licensures on a grade-only basis. The P/NC option is available to non-majors unless otherwise noted. Courses offered on a pass/no-credit-only or grade-only basis are so designated in the course descriptions.

REPETITION OF COURSES
No Education Department course may be repeated more than once due to withdrawal or earning a grade less than “C.”

INCOMPLETE GRADES
The grade of incomplete (“I”) may be granted at the discretion of the course instructor in special cases in which, for reasons beyond the student’s control, all course assignments were not finished though the student is passing all other aspects of the course. The incomplete must be resolved by the second week of the next semester in which the student enrolls for any course that serves as a prerequisite for other courses.

All other majors are available only on the Winona campus. See pages 40 amd 41 for the articulation of the 2+2 programs available at the WSU-Rochester campus.
ADMISSION TO THE WSU TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
I. Attend the Admissions Meeting the semester before you wish to start taking classes. An Admissions Meeting is scheduled early each semester. At this mandatory meeting, students review the criteria for admission and complete an application form; students are given an Admissions Folder to begin documenting their attainment of the admission criteria. (If a student has been accepted previously but did not start the education sequence the following semester, the student must attend a new admissions meeting and be re-accepted under the criteria in effect for that semester.)
II. Document attainment of minimum admission criteria by submitting a complete Admissions Folder to the Education Department no later than the designated due date. The Admissions Folder is complete only if it contains highlighted documents that demonstrate the admission criteria in effect during that semester.

Current minimum admission criteria, which must be documented, include:
1. 30 semester hours of completed credit of which no more than 2 semester hours may be pass/no credit hours. All transfer credits to be considered for admission must have been accepted by WSU and be designated on the credit evaluation prepared by the WSU Office of Admissions.
2. Cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better (highlight on transcript).
Note: Students who do not meet the 2.75 GPA may check a box (“Alternate Admission Requests”) on the application form, requesting
the Admission Committee to consider an alternate GPA. The alternate GPA calculation is based upon the last 30 semester credits completed or quarter credit equivalent. The calculation must include all semester or quarter hour coursework in any given semester needed to meet the 30-semester hour credit requirement.
3. Grade of “B” or better in a 3-credit college-level writing course (ENG 111 if taken at WSU).
4. Grade of “B” or better in a 3-credit college-level speech course (CMST 191 if taken at WSU).
5. Grade of “C” or better in a 3-credit college-level math course (MATH 100 or higher at WSU).
6. Official score report on all three sections of the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST): Math, Reading, and Writing. It will take up to 8 weeks from the time a student completes the exam for results of the Writing section to be processed and reported to WSU. It is the student’s responsibility to take the test at least two months before the deadline for completing the Admissions Folder. (Competency in each of the sections is not required for admittance to the WSU program, but it is required to obtain licensure.) Register for these tests online at www.ets.org/praxis, or call the La Crosse test site at 608-785-8968 or the Rochester test site at 507-292-9713.
7. Evidence of having passed the Education Department Writing Proficiency exam. All applicants for admission to the education program are required to pass this exam, which is given during the Admissions Meeting. A $20 fee is payable by check at the time of this exam. Currently enrolled WSU students may have this fee billed to their tuition account.
8. Copy of completed DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System) form prepared by the WSU Office of Admissions for students who have transferred from another institution.
9. Affirmation of a record of good citizenship on the completed admission form.
Notes:
• Admission to teacher education is limited each semester. Additional criteria are used to determine admission to the program if the number of applicants exceeds the number of available seats.
• The University reserves the right to consider as part of the admission and retention policy those dispositions, general health, and scholastic achievement, or other standards as may be appropriate. Students must adhere to the WSU Student Conduct Policy.

RETENTION IN WSU TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Assistance Plan
Students identified by teacher education faculty as needing assistance in academic, personal, or professional domains are required to attend a review meeting to be called by the Education Department Chairperson and to include the education faculty member involved, appropriate department chairperson(s), and the student’s advisor to demonstrate corrective action in the identified areas of concern.
 Assistance plans will likely draw upon services such as those provided by the Counseling Center, the Writing Center, Student Support Services, and the Advising and Retention Office. If a student withdraws from the program for any reason, she or he must reapply for admission to continue in the program.

Continuation in Teacher Education
1. The successful completion of conditions outlined in the student assistance plan will be required for continuation in teacher education programs under the following circumstances:
• A grade of less than “C” in any Education Department course
• Withdrawal (WD) from the same Education Department course
more than once, or withdrawal (WD) from two different Education
Department courses in two different semesters
• Failure to meet GPA requirements outlined below
2. Teacher education students must maintain at least a 2.75 GPA in order to be placed in student teaching. Teacher education students who do not meet this GPA requirement may not student teach until they meet the 2.75 requirement.
3. Student assistance plans and academic warning letters are treated as part of the student’s teacher education record.

Dismissal from Teacher Education Program
Students may be dismissed from the Teacher Education Program for either of the following reasons:
• Failure to document the fulfillment of student assistance plan commitments.
• Breach of ethical responsibilities, as stated in the Minnesota Code of Ethics for Teachers in the WSU Teacher Education Student Handbook. A student dismissed for an ethical violation will not be allowed to continue in any field experience that semester, will be dropped from the Teacher Education Program at the end of the semester, and will not be readmitted to the major.
 Student appeals must follow the process outlined in the WSU Teacher Education Student Handbook.

STUDENT TEACHING
Requirements
Student teaching is required for all teacher education programs and is done during the final semester at WSU. One full semester is required in an area public school or early childhood program contracted by the University or elsewhere in Minnesota through the Common Market Program. All student teachers will complete a full semester in their licensure area. Student teachers follow the calendars of their respective school districts. The Student Teaching Director will indicate the beginning and ending dates of placement.
 Student teaching at the secondary level is required in all major fields. If a second major is completed, the Director of Student Teaching will indicate the WSU student teaching requirements necessary to meet licensure requirements.

Application
Application for student teaching is made to the Director of Student Teaching two semesters prior to the student teaching semester. Students apply for a semester when they will not have other commitments, such as coaching, music tours, classes, etc. Applications are available in the Student Teaching Office (Gildemeister Hall).

Student Teaching Progression Policy
If the classroom supervisor or the University supervisor has any concern(s) regarding the student teacher’s performance (academic or professional), it is imperative that the concern be addressed immediately. All three parties—the classroom supervisor, the University supervisor and the student teacher—will meet and discuss all concerns. It is important that all three parties share a common understanding of the concern(s) and the impact upon the completion of a successful student teaching experience. A clear warning will be given, and a written plan developed, stating clear expectations and the consequences if those expectations are not met within a specified timeline. If students do not satisfactorily complete student teaching after remediation, they may apply to graduate with a Professional Studies degree.

LICENSURE: ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY TEACHING
