To be approved for admission to the professional semester, the candidate must meet the following requirements:

Educational Placement Files and Letters of Recommendation. Early in your student teaching semester, you may wish to contact the Career Services Office in C-349 for information about this process.

Licensing Requirements.   As you complete student teaching, the Licensing Advisor will explain teacher licensing application procedures and distribute applications at one of the Student Teacher Workshops.  

Showcase Portfolio .   The portfolio you will be completing while at Purdue University Calumet is considered a developmental portfolio.   A developmental portfolio is one that is constantly changing as you "develop" into a teacher professional.   A Showcase Portfolio is considered the best of the work you completed while in a teacher education program.   We will supply tips related to how to show your best work and still address the meeting of standards.
