Educator Preparation Office
The Educator Preparation Office collaborates with educator preparation academic programs, placement sites, and state and federal agencies. We work to ensure a successful educator preparation experience for each student. These School-Collaborations help to ensure a successful educator preparation experience for each student that meets certification requirements and state, regional, and national accreditation standards.
Enrolled Students come to the office for resources on program progression and the Decision Points, testing support and registration, application materials, and certification information.
