Keys to a Successful Advising Appointment

1) Schedule your advising appointment in advance At peak times of the year, it may be difficult to get an appointment with your academic

advisor at a moment’s notice.

You can schedule an appointment online, here:

http://education.msu.edu/resources/students/student-affairs.asp

2) Show up early or on-time for your advising appointment Call to cancel and/or reschedule your appointment well in advance if you are unable to

make it, so another student may take your appointment time.

3) Make sure you have your PID or Net ID Your PID is the “A” number provided to you from the registrar’s office. Your Net ID is your

email address without the “@msu.edu.” This will allow your advisor to access your records

during your appointment.

4) Bring a Pen/Pencil and paper or your Computer/Tablet to take notes Taking notes will help you think about what you are learning and help you to remember

details and deadlines.

5) Bring this book! I mean, look how amazing it is!

6) Prepare a selection of courses If you are preparing for enrollment, bring a list of courses that you would like to take and/or

think you may need for your degree or transfer plan. If you need help searching for classes

instructions can be found here: https://schedule.msu.edu/

7) Bring a list of questions Get the most out of your appointment and have all of your questions answered at one time.

SPECIAL EDUCATION PRE–ADMISSION EXPERIENCE

FOR OBSERVATION OF AND/OR PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES

To be eligible for consideration for admission to the teacher certification program with a disciplinary major in special education, the student must also have completed one or two supervised pre-admission experiences totaling at least 42 hours in the area of emphasis that the student will select to meet the requirements for the bachelor’s degree. Prospective special

education students are strongly encouraged to talk with faculty in special education about the

potential value of sites for securing the required experience. Prospective applicants to the special education program must submit a form verifying completion of the experience. Current MSU students who apply in the fall have until the first week of spring semester in the same academic year to submit their forms. Transfer students must submit their forms at the time of matriculation at MSU. Although applicants to the special education major will not be ranked by their performance in the experience, only students who have completed the required experience will be considered for admission.

The purpose of a volunteer experience requirement is to offer students considering Teacher Education and a major in an emphasis area of Special Education an opportunity to visit, observe, and interact with children and youth who are disabled, in existing settings under the direction of an experienced teacher or supervisor. This opportunity may assist you in learning whether you might enjoy Special Education teaching and consultation; and provide you with a foundation for acquiring the knowledge and skills you will need if you are admitted to a Program.

You are encouraged to seek out and consider sites of various types in your home community for observation and gaining experience with children and youth with disabilities. Typically, local school districts and intermediate school districts maintain educational programs for pre- school and school-age students, where teachers certified in special education teach special needs students and collaborate with the children’s regular education teachers, parents, therapists, and other school personnel to plan and implement an effective education for the children. Other agencies, both public and private, also offer services to families and children with disabilities. These services range from providing evaluations and teaching physical, sensory, mental health, or educational needs, to opportunities for the use of leisure time, such as scouting, recreation, camps, after-school sports or art, music, or dance experiences. And there are more for you to discover! Typically, a search for a volunteer experience begins with the discovery of one resource, and leads to other resources which are recommended by your first contact - and so on - until you finally find yourself at a site that matches your goals! Your telephone directory, local school Director of Special Education, teacher, or parent of a child who is disabled, may help you to get started in finding volunteer experience. And, of course, MSU advisors in Teacher Education-Special Education will also be available to offer suggestions. You can complete the volunteer experience when Michigan State is on break and local schools and agencies are still in session, such as December after MSU final exams, during MSU's spring break, or the break in the summer. The volunteer experience can be divided between two settings, or you can complete it in a single setting. The minimum number of hours is 42.

When you have completed the experience, please complete (typed response preferred) and return the Student Reaction Form . A second form, The Supervisor Reaction Form, should be completed by your site supervisor and mailed to us under separate cover. Your response is an important part of your application for admission to the Special Education major, and will be placed in the application folder for review by the Special Education Admission Committee. Enjoy your volunteer experience!

Elementary Education Teachable Minors

Students must choose an elementary teaching major. Minors can be added to the major but they are

considered extra and optional. Students can apply to add optional minors on the Reply Form they submit after

being admitted to the Teacher Preparation Program. To become certified in the minor area, students must

complete all required coursework and pass the corresponding MTTC test.

Minor Options:

- Arabic - Japanese

- Chinese - Mathematics

- Early Childhood Education - Spanish

Early Childhood & Special Education Minor Graduates are recognized as having expertise working with young children. These standards reflect the

knowledge and skills to teach children from birth to age 8 in general education settings, as well as significant

knowledge and skills for teaching infants and children with special needs. All students will gain practical

experience working with children by first observing, then planning activities, and finally culminating with a

semester of student teaching in the MSU Child Development Laboratories (CDLs). Students in the MSU

Elementary Education or Special Education Teacher Preparation Programs should contact an HDFS Academic

Advisor for adding the minor to their degree program.

The endorsement requires 26 credit hours and includes the following courses:

Urban Educators Cohort Program:

What it UECP?

The Urban Educators Cohort Program gives students a distinct perspective on teaching in

communities where resources and services are often limited. Through two years of focused

coursework and guided teaching experiences, UECP helps prepare educators who are uniquely

qualified to teach in urban school districts, addressing the needs of all learners.

Why Join UECP?

Students attending the nation's urban schools deserve teachers who will remain committed to the

job no matter how school budgets and reform efforts fumble. These urban schools need teachers

who know how to utilize resources and find potential that others may fail to notice – so that all

learners have the best chances to succeed. Preparation for this begins with the Urban Educators

Cohort Program here at Michigan State University.

Members of the close-knit program spend their freshman and sophomore years at MSU together

visiting real classrooms and taking specialized courses together. They receive all the benefits of the

nation's top-ranked teacher preparation program, with a distinctly urban focus.

Freshman Year Courses: Sophomore Year Courses:

Fall TE 250 3 (sec 005, 006, or 007) Fall CEP 240 3

Spring TE 150 3 (sec 023, 024, or 025) Spring TE 291A 2

How Do I Apply? Submit a supplemental application to the Urban Educators Cohort Program which includes an essay regarding your interest in teaching in an urban setting as well as a description of the experiences/qualities that make you a strong candidate for the program.

Demographic background, grade point average, SAT or ACT scores, high school and work activities, and written communication skills will also be considered in the selection process.

Students admitted to the Urban Educators Cohort Program must confirm their acceptance and participate in all required program activities to maintain cohort membership.

UECP is only available to incoming freshmen!

Global Educators Cohort Program:

What it GECP?

The Global Educators Cohort Program is a specialized teacher preparation program focused on global

and international perspectives. GECP students enjoy many advantages, such as individualized

mentorship by faculty and practicing teachers with expertise and experience in global and

international education; and special, smaller, faculty-led, course sections designed specifically for

members of GECP.

Why Join GECP?

The Global Educators Cohort Program (GECP) gives future educators the tools they need to teach with

a global view and to make an impact in today's classrooms, which are increasingly culturally diverse.

Through social and educational experiences, MSU's Global Educators are prepared to help young

people think about themselves as citizens and stewards of the world around them.

Members of the close-knit program spend their freshman and sophomore years at MSU together

visiting real classrooms and taking specialized courses together. They receive all the benefits of the

nation's top-ranked teacher preparation program, with a distinctly global focus.

Freshman Year Courses: Sophomore Year Courses:

Fall TE 250 3 (sec 010, 011, or 012) Fall TE 352 3

Spring TE 150 3 (sec 026, 027, or 028) Spring TE 291A 1

How Do I Apply? Submit a supplemental application to the Global Educators Cohort Program which includes an essay regarding your interest in teaching in a global context as well as a description of the experiences/qualities that make you a strong candidate for the program.

Demographic background, grade point average, SAT or ACT scores, high school and work activities, and written communication skills will also be considered in the selection process.

Students admitted to the Global Educators Cohort Program must confirm their acceptance and participate in all required program activities to maintain cohort membership.

GECP is only available to incoming freshmen!

Test Scores Required for Admission

The New SAT

Official SAT scores are required for admission to MSU’s Teacher Preparation Program. The

Michigan Department of Education (MDE) requires teacher candidates to have the following

SAT scores:

Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 480 (or above) Mathematics: 530 (or above)

If you have already taken the new SAT (administered March 5, 2016 and beyond) and your scores meet or exceed those levels, you have met MDE’s “basic skills” requirement. If you have already taken the SAT and your scores do not meet or exceed those levels, you may take the test again and have official scores sent to MSU. If you have taken the SAT more than once, we will use your best score in each subarea (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Mathematics) across multiple test dates. Please note: Scores from SATs taken before March 5, 2016 will not be considered.

Alternatives to the SAT

Applicants may also use scores from the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC) Professional Readiness Exam (PRE) and ACT scores (see below) from tests taken before September 23rd, 2017. Applicants may pass all three PRE subtests (Reading, Mathematics, and Writing), or they may combine passing scores from the SAT, ACT, PRE, and MTTC Basic Skills Test until October 1, 2025.

Please consult with an academic advisor to discuss these alternative pass measures. More information about test scores required for admissions can be found on the College of Education application website, here: http://education.msu.edu/academics/undergraduate/apply-teacher-prep.asp

The Michigan Department of Education will allow teaching candidates to use the following ACT scores taken before September 23rd, 2017:

Reading: 22 (or above) Mathematics: 22 (or above)

English + Writing: 22(or above)
