You can download course information that you’ll have opportunity to begin once all general education, support courses, and 200-300 level education courses are completed, using the links below. Please notice that the course sequence begins in the spring semester, which aligns with district hiring practices.
To best accommodate the dual role of teacher candidate and paraprofessional/teacher’s aide, all courses are delivered in an asynchronous modality, though some may occasionally require late afternoon or evening online meetings, primarily for the purpose of offering demonstrations or clarification of content.
