What Our Interns Say

etep application handbook
 

The Unified ETEP program has been an amazing experience for me. It has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in a classroom, the experience of both general and special education and the verification of my commitment to become a teacher!
Courtney Wright
Unified Elementary Cohort

The Unified K-8 Program has taken my confidence and passion for teaching and learning and challenged it to become stronger and better than I could have imagined.  After just one year of the program I feel like I could begin teaching this fall and have the skills I need to be a successful educator and benefit any student who walked through my classroom door.
Andrea Logan
Unified Elementary Cohort

The professors and supervisors truly cared about developing our abilities in the classroom, a repertoire of usable strategies to engage all learners and building our confidence in the classroom.  A tremendous experience in which I developed what I know will be lifelong friendships and a support system."
Barbara Richards
Portland Cohort

A teacher preparation program that really works: hands-on learning with guided and insightful instruction that addresses the critical issues in education and allows you to work in professional teaching environment as you integrate and practice new skills and knowledge.
Michael Gardner
Unified Elementary Cohort

ETEP is the toughest thing you'll ever love doing. Once you've completed ETEP I believe you're ready for most any challenge that the modern classroom will present. I don't think I would have been as prepared as I am if I hadn't done the ETEP program.
Thom Collins
Unified Elementary Cohort

I owe much of my success to the support of my fellow classmates. On a regular basis they helped me through assignments, aided me in understanding concepts, and gave me ideas on how to implement my lessons.
Brett Ordway
Secondary Cohort

Site coordinators make the ETEP process quite manageable and a great learning experience.  It is because of their guidance, leadership, and advice that my fellow cohort members and I have achieved success inside and outside of the classroom.
Doug Dumont
Secondary Cohort

The ETEP program has provided me with a fresh perspective about how to share and balance the responsibility of learning between the teacher and student.
Catherine Hewitt

The TEAMS program provides a unique balance of classroom practica, academic experiences, and group bonding. After a few short years, you will have your degree, your certification to teach, and a fabulous group of unforgettable friends.
