MLC Education Update
March 2023
NEED TO KNOW
Student Teaching in 2023-2024: If you have submitted your student teaching application, the student teaching courses will appear in your schedule planner for 2023-2024. So, when you begin to schedule your courses for next year, the professional semester will already be populated. If you find in your schedule planning that an academic course you need to take conflicts with the professional semester, please let Prof. Pavelchik know.
If you are planning on student teaching next year and have not yet applied, please contact Prof. Pavelchik.
TEAM Meeting with Advisor: The Teacher Education Assessment Measure (TEAM) is a tool for advisors and advisees to use together to assess a student’s gifts for the teaching ministry. The TEAM form will be in the hands of the advisor. Advisers and advisees will need to set an appointment to meet between March 13 and April 14 to work through the survey together. The deadline to complete and submit the form is April 14th.
Please email Mrs. Kristen Hanevik if you have any questions.
Individual Field Experience (IFE) Hours As you submit your forms for IFE hours, please remember the following:
- Give a good amount of detail in your description. Be sure to include the age of children with whom you work. If you log diversity hours, explain the types of special needs or cultures with which you had the opportunity to interact.
- You may be asked to correct or clarify something on your IFE forms. Watch your email for those requests and resubmit your forms as needed!
