  1. Junior-level or post-baccalaureate classification in the university.

I know that I will not be allowed into Block 1 until I have met these requirements. I am also aware that to enter Block 2, I must have successfully completed Block 1 with a ‘C’ or better in all courses. To enter Block 3, I must successfully complete Block 2 with a ‘C’ or better in all courses. I must interview and be accepted by the PDS site, to receive placement in a Block 2 and 3 classroom.

Advisors will work with sophomore, junior, and senior Elementary Education students to assist with long-range planning, enrollment, drop-add, and other program/career planning issues. Therefore, I am responsible for knowing and fulfilling the requirements in order to attain an elementary education degree from ESU.

As part of my educational training, I will complete two semesters (Block 2 and 3) as an intern in a Professional Development School (PDS). This is an 8:00-5:00 Monday through Friday obligation. The first semester I will also complete my "Methods of Teaching" courses within my day at the Elementary School. The second semester is my "student teaching" experience. I know I must complete Block 2 and 3 at one of our partnered PDS sites. Additionally, I know there is an extra fee of $125 per semester for the Block 2 and 3 experiences in a PDS classroom. This fee is in addition to other required tuition and fees.

The Principles of Learning and Teaching Exam (PLT) and Content Area Test must be successfully passed to graduate from ESU and to be recommended for teacher licensure in the State of Kansas.
