EDUC 201 - Professional Growth and Folio Development I
Term Offered: Fall, Spring
This seminar is designed to initiate professional growth and development for the pre-service teacher at all levels. A variety of large group, small group, and individual learning experiences will be explored which focus on contemporary educational issues. Students will be introduced to the Missouri Teacher Standards and begin development of their Professional Development Folio (PDF). All undergraduate degree-seeking students seeking initial teacher certification must register for this course in the second semester of their sophomore year or first semester of enrollment for transfer students with junior standing or above; post-baccalaureate certification-only students and graduate students seeking initial teacher certification must register for this course in their first semester of enrollment. Students are required to complete their Teacher Education Admission Packet in conjunction with EDUC 201 in preparation for their interview for admission into the Teacher Education Program.
Note: School of Teacher Education Gateway Course: A grade of B or better is required for this course with the opportunity to repeat the course once to achieve the minimum grade. This course will not be accepted in transfer from another institution and cannot be taken through Directed Study, Credit for Prior Learning, or Credit by Exam. There is a special fee ($50.00) associated with this course.
Semester Hours: One
Required Assessments: Per Missouri statute, proficiency in general education through performance on an accepted entrance exam is required for admission into the MBU Teacher Education Program for degree-seeking undergraduate students. Undergraduate degree-seeking students who are pursuing teacher certification and matriculate with an ACT composite score of 20 or higher (or an SAT composite score of 1040 or higher) have met MBU’s qualifying scores. Students who have not met these benchmarks may take either the Missouri Paraprofessional exam or Missouri General Education Assessment (MoGEA) to fulfill the testing requirement for proficiency. The Paraprofessional or MoGEA must be taken in the same semester as EDUC 201 Professional Growth & Folio Development I. Post-baccalaureate students seeking initial certification, whether at the graduate- or undergraduate level, are exempt from the general education assessment requirement, per DESE rules (5 CSR 20-400.310, Appendix A 11).
