Welcome to the Unified Elementary ProTeach program!
The faculty of the College of Education collaborated on a program that we think best prepares professional educators to teach an increasingly diverse population. In this five-year program, all graduates are prepared for certification at the elementary level (K-grade 6) with the ESOL endorsement. Dual certification in both exceptional student education and elementary education is an option in the fifth year.
Students admitted into the Unified Elementary ProTeach program have already completed the first two years of the full five-year program. Once admitted, students are assigned to a "cohort" or group of fellow students all working toward the same goal and who progress through the program together. Learn more about the exciting first semester in the Unified Elementary ProTeach program.
Cohorts meet with the program coordinator periodically throughout each semester in sessions referred to as “Common Hour.” The purpose of ”Common Hour” sessions is to share important procedural information to ensure that all students progress through the program as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Additionally, each cohort is assigned a student representative to serve on the UEP Student Advisory Council. This council serves to address questions and concerns among cohorts and make suggestions for program improvement.
