Teacher candidates are students in the Educator Preparation Program for teacher certification requiring completion of field experiences. Field Experiences are an integral part of teacher preparation and the key to helping teacher candidates become effective educators who can successfully connect theory to practice. Based on these premises, our office will strive to provide teacher candidates with vast and structured hands-on experiences in the field. Our main goal is the success of our teacher candidates in becoming effective educators while maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence.
