  4. The College had been offering an Education program which included student teaching for a number of years, but graduates had to go through an alternative program , or take additional courses at another entity, in order to obtain their Texas teacher certification. 

  5. Because a number of graduates went through ECAP for certification, a collaborative relationship was built with Sharon Fikes.

  6. Since Arlington Baptist College already had an Education program in place, a student population was ready to enter the approved certification program as soon as the College was awarded that opportunity.

  7. Arlington Baptist College’s first completer list was for 2003-04, and consisted of seven (7) pre-service teachers.
