To remain in the Teacher Certification program students must maintain a 2.75 or better cumulative GPA (in all courses, not just education courses) as well as a 3.0 GPA in their content area.
A student must receive a minimum grade of “C” in each professional education course required for certification by the Missouri State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. A “C-” is not acceptable. If a grade below a “C” (C-, D, or F) is received, the student will be placed on program probation or academic probation. Probation will be lifted when a student has received a “C” grade (or higher) for the course, provided the course in question has not been repeated more than one time. If the course in which the student did not receive a passing score is a prerequisite to a future course the student may not enroll in the future course until the prerequisite course has been completed and passed with a grade of “C” or higher.
Missouri general education assessment (mogea) or ets praxis.
The Missouri General Education Assessment (MoGEA) measures student's current knowledge in the following 5 areas: English, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students must earn a passing score on all 5 sub-tests. Beginning July 2024, the requirement will shift to successful completion of the ETS Praxis. Passing Scores Established by Educator Preparation Programs
ETS Praxis Completed at the End of the Program (Elementary or Elementary plus Special Education depending upon certification area selected by the student).
The Missouri Educator Evaluation System (MEES) is a performance-based assessment. The purpose of the MEES is to assess the instructional capability of teacher candidates before licensure. This evaluation is required for teacher certification. Teacher candidates must have a minimum combined summative score (from a University Supervisor and Cooperating Teacher) of a minimum combined summative score of 42 points (with no zero scores), as well as artifacts (via products or performance) illustrating teacher candidates’ knowledge.
This program is designed to be a paid teacher apprenticeship program in partnership with employing schools and/or districts. Candidates must be able to provide instruction to students on an ongoing basis to complete the requirements of the program.
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.
Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
The following roadmaps are assuming students come in with a completed associate's degree or ~60 credits of transfer coursework. Students will need to fulfill all Undergraduate Core requirements at SLU or through transfer coursework.
