The Fitness Policies ensure that all candidates in our Educator Preparation Program demonstrate the professional dispositions, conduct, and ethical standards required to effectively teach and support students. They outline the behavioral and academic expectations that future educators must meet to maintain their eligibility for program completion and certification. Candidates are regularly assessed on their readiness to engage in the teaching profession, ensuring they possess the skills, knowledge, and character needed for success in the classroom. For more details, please refer to the full Fitness to Teach policy and guidelines.
