GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
The program requires the completion of 28-credits, this includes Licensure courses (24 credits) and Electives (4 credits) .
The curriculum for this program is offered during the academic year and summer session. During the academic year courses will be offered on the east and west sides of the Portland metropolitan area. Courses will also be offered during the summer on the PSU campus. It is recommended that courses be completed in the order listed below. Registration for any of these courses requires prior admission to the Continuing Administrator License program. It is possible to substitute program courses based on past experience and study. However, the credit requirement must still be met. To have a course substituted for a CAL requirement you must submit a Petition for Course Substitution and indicate which course you feel is comparable, provide an official transcript AND also a syllabus or catalog description of the course taken. This process should only be initiated once a faculty advisor has been consulted. Modifications to this program may be made as a result of changes in the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) regulations.
Each course has an associated 30-hour district-focused field-based project integrated within the course. Instructors for each course will provide guidelines for these projects and a Field-Based Project Form must be completed for each course and submitted to the ELP Department. This form will be added to the student's permanent through Tk20.
