  8. Background Checks • Conducting criminal background checks on preservice teachers participating in field experiences is a normal procedure for all school systems. • Criminal background checks are conducted through the Office of Field Experiences. • This process must be completed before you will be assigned a block.

  9. Program Requirements • You must maintain a 2.5 GPA. • You will not be allowed in any Block II courses without a C or better in each Block I course.

  10. 20/20 Program:Service-Learning Project • In CI 3000 (Learner Diversity) you will participate in a 10-hour service-learning project. • The purpose is to learn how to connect the service that you do to the concepts presented in your Learner Diversity course. • This provides you with hands-on experience with the issues that diverse learners face so that you will know how to handle these issues when you encounter them as a teacher.

  11. Advising • As always you must make an appointment at posted times to meet with your advisor prior to early registration. • Greg Galvin, our elementary education program area advisor, is also able to meet with you.
