MTL Courses and Schedule

Changes to the MTL – Effective Fall 2010

The required number of credit hours for the MTL has been changed from 46 to 45 credit hours. Beginning in the Fall of 2010, the yearlong EDU 627-628-629 course sequence will no longer be offered. Instead EDU 642: Classroom Assessment and EDU 643: Inquiry in Education are offered. EDU 600 is a prerequisite for EDU 643. It is not a requirement that a student in EDU 642 or EDU 643 be employed in a teaching role when taking these courses. Students who are not employed as teachers or educational technicians will be offered alternative course projects.

The new program of study after completing your ETEP intern year is:

• EDU 600 Research Methods (3 crs)
• EDU 624 Schools and Classrooms (3 crs)
• EDU 642 Classroom Assessment (3 crs)
• EDU 643 Inquiry in Education (3 crs) -- must take EDU 600 prior to EDU 643
