Beginning in the SPRING term of 2001, the course title listings for Student Teaching will change.

For Students who entered the Credential Program BEFORE Fall, 2001:

  • If you have already taken Field Experience 0708-616 or Field Participation 0708-660, you will be registering for Student Teaching II and III (Multiple Subjects: 0708-605 & 0708-606 or 0708-607 [BCLAD] / Single Subject: 0708-655 & 0708-656 or 657 [BCLAD])

  • If you have not enrolled in  Field Experience or Field Participation yet, you will need to register for Student Teaching I (Multiple Subjects: 0708-616 / Single Subject: 0708-660).

For Students who entered the Credential Program in Fall, 2001 or later:
